Digital television is a new way of broadcasting television signals.
Information is sent to your television in short bursts instead of in the form of a continuous wave of signal like we are used to with analog broadcasting. The ABC is in favour of the move to digital television, but it is a Federal Government initiative. For many viewers, digital television will provide clearer, sharper pictures than analog. The interference and ghosting that currently affect many viewers in built-up or hilly areas is expected to stop. Improved picture quality will depend on where you live and the quality of your current analog service.
