English -3 How to View DigitaJ TeJevision There are three w%Ts to watch DT\_ The first is to use an integrated digital TV one w_th a butih-in digital teh'vision tum_'r. TM' second is to conn_'ct _m _'xt_'rnal DTV st, t-top recciwr to a DTV-read} teh,vision or monitor. This type of TV or monitor will have wideband component video and stereo audio inpt:tts. You can ;_lso watch DTV signals with personal cotllputter (PC) turner cards and cotllputter monitors. Integrated TVs versus DTV-readg TVs and monitors The advantage of an integrated DTV set is that it can tume both analog and digital TV chanttets at the same time. All you'll treed to do is add art exterttal atttetma attd you are remedyto watch DTV However, integrated DTV sets are not as common as DTV-ready TVs and monitors. If you[ already own a DTV-ready TV with compon{'nt vid{,o inpt:ttS; yOtitcan {'tt]o)_ DTV broadcasts by simply adding a low-cost DTV set-top receiver atld antetma. This television receiver supports the copy protection system regulated by DTLA (Digital Transmission Licensing Administrator,). tt should be noted that copy protected content may not be viewable depending on your particular connections. English -4 Q&A 1. is the antenna | use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV? Ove>the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the sanle channels as analog TV and works _s'ell with nlan)_ t'xisting TV antennas. Ho_'t'vt'r, DT\' ])roadc'ast chann4 assign[nt, nts are diffl'n'nt than analog chann4s. You should find octt wh'ther )our local DTV })road_'asts art, on VHF (chann4s 2-1"_) or UHF (chann4s 14-(>9) to set" if )ou nt't'd a dfff_'n'nt antenna. If your DTV chann4s art, on UHF and )ou ah'ady set good UHF rtwption, your present antenna nlay _,,'ork tint'. The sanlt' holds trtitt' for VHF I)TV recq_tion. Nott' that in sonar' Lnarkt, ts bth VHF and UHF chann4s art' used br DTV l_roadcasts. _\_u can find out the latest DTV channel assignnlt'nts for your area by bro',_'sin;4 selected Intt'rn_'t web site's such as _'w, Uitant_:corll, and _'_qc'c.gov. 2. How diffisu|t is it to reseive DTV signa|s indoors? This depends on whether your local DTV stations are running full power or not and how clost' your location is to tD transnlission t¢,ver. DTV n'eeivt'rs do not n'quin' as Lllt:tc'h%hal as analog TV rt'c't'tvt'rs to produc't' high-qualit) iLlmgt's and sound. Once the DTV signal level exceeds a certain threshold at the n,ceiver, the digital video and auutio data is decoded at the sanle quality it was originally encoded br broadcast. This is a hg advantage br DTV over analog TV - there is no noise, ghosting static or scratchy audio. 3. How san | sonnest an antenna in my townhouse, so-operative apartment, condominium, or apartment? The Federal Conlnlunications Conlnlission's OTAED Ectle (part of the Tt'lt'_'onlLnunh'ations Act of 1996) allo_;vs residents of _'ondonliniunls townhoust,, or Lllt'nlbers of ndghborhood associations to put up outside antt_nnas for rec'eption of broadcast TV signals as long as thost, antennas art' not [o_'att'd in common an'as and art, no [non' than 12' fn hdght. Eesidents of rental units (apartn_ents etc) are not covered }>ythe OTAED rules and will havt, to ust, indoor antennas to ret'efvt' DTV t)road('asts. It is possfl>le that th' hndlord of an apartn_ent co[nplt'x can providt, ]_road_*ast DTV signals via a n_astt, r TV antt'nna s)'stt'm to t'ach apartn_t'nt. 4. Can ! connect my DTV set-top reseiver to my sane TV service? CaI_le TV systen_s _tse a dificrt, nt n_ethod br transn_itting digital TV progran_s that is c'urrently inc'on_patil_lt' with broadcast I)TV set-top re<'eivt'rs. So vot:t__:ill still nt'ed to ttst, art outtdoor or indoor antenna to n'cdvt' OTA })ro;_dcast [)TV progratl_s. The good news is that you won't have to pay a n_onthly or per-progran_ charge to watch OTA DTV and HDTV progran_s.
