WHAT IS BROADCAST DTV (DIGITAL TELEVISION)?
Digital TV is revolutionary to over the air broadcasting. Some will remember over the air broadcasting as bunny ears and a fuzzy picture. But not anymore! Now that the signal is digital you get the same quality picture as with cable or satellite for FREE. Digital TV also allows TV stations to send out multiple channels in one signal. So now the same 11Alive that you knew before is channel 11.1, but they are also broadcasting channel 11.2 that shows your local weather, and 11.3 with Universal Sports. Just like your car uses an antenna to receive your favorite radio stations - You can also use an antenna for your TV and receive over 50 channels for FREE! These include all of your favorite local channels, many in HD. So if you find yourself flipping through 100's of channels you never watch, but are paying for, then Digital TV may just be the thing for you.
