The digital age of television has brought many benefits. One of them is the noise free pictures. Analog signals could be affected by weather, geography and other equipment. In a less than perfect reception area, it is possible to see noise in the picture or ghost images.
With a digital signal, these signal faults are avoided most of the time. However, if the signal becomes degraded, there will come a point where the digital data being received cannot be interpreted properly. At that point, the picture will change from a noise free image to a complete breakdown of the image. There is almost nothing in between a good image and no image at all.
A picture that frequently breaks up is at that point. To overcome the problem, a better aerial or a better positioned aerial is likely to help. Contact a local television aerial center and they will have knowledge of the locality to be able to advise.
A less expensive option is to use an aerial amplifier. They can often cure this kind of problem but they are not always an instant solution.

ReSCAN your TV set for DTV channels and go to www.tvfool.com for important information.
Does a DVD recorder with a digital tuner allow you to record one channel while watching another channel?
It depends on the set you are watching on and your cable service. If you have a cable service that sends in all channels, digital and analog, without the need for a set top box, then you can get all the channels available if your DVR and television both have digital tuners built into them. If your DVR does not have a digital tuner, it will only be able to pick up the standard channels and not the "virtual" channels available through digital service (i.e. 8.1 or 17.4, etc.). If the DVR does have a digital tuner, but you are still watching on an old analog CRT television set, then you won't be able to watch the virtual channels while the DVR is recording, since the old TV won't pick up those in between channels. So, the answer is, if you have a set with a digital tuner, and a DVR with a digital tuner, you will be able to watch any channel while recording any other channel, as long as they are not encoded. If one of the two does not have a digital tuner, then your watching selection will be limited to what it can pick up.
Will digital tv become anything like cable because it has extra bandwidth which can be used to broadcast more channels?
In reality, digital TV doesn't have extra bandwidth. It uses the same (or a little less) amount of bandwidth as standard NTSC television signal, but since it's digital in nature, they are able to multiplex up to eight TV signals within the same amount of transponder space. So yes, it can broadcast more channels.

Is HD broadcast the same as digital broadcast?
All HD broadcasts are digital. Not all digital broadcasts are HD. "Digital" is simply a way of coding TV pictures onto a radio wave so that your TV can receive the radio wave and turn it back into a TV picture. The old method was called "analog." Digital is more efficient than analog and allows a lot more information to be carried on the radio wave. Since the wave can now carry more information, some TV stations are choosing to use that extra information for a high definition (HD) picture rather than a standard definition (SD) picture. In fact, there is so much extra room with a digital signal that most TV stations can now show several different programs at once! Most channels will now have several sub-channels. For example, instead of having just Channel 7, you might have Channel 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and so on -- each with a different program. An HD signal takes up a lot of room, so TV stations that broadcast an HD signal have less room to add additional sub-channels. What is happening with the digital transition is that all analog TV broadcasts will be turned off. Only digital broadcasts will remain on the air. Each TV station decides what it will do with its digital signal. It can use the digital signal to broadcast one HD sub-channel and a few SD sub-channels or it can broadcast a lot of digital SD sub-channels. Most TV stations will choose to broadcast at least one HD sub-channel.

If you have an analog tv with a set top digital converter box will you be able to receive basic cable without a cable box?
Depends if your cable company is sending anything in analog to the box. Since every thing's converting to digital, chances are there may be a few remaining channels in analog still in basic, but those will be gone by February 17, 2009.
