Are You Watching Low Quality On Your HDTV?
This
could be a really long discussion but I just want to quickly make a
point about setting up your new TV so I am going to over simplify the
difference in order to explain. Digital is a higher quality picture
than analogue.
Very few instruction manuals make it clear that if you are plugged in
via a terrestrial aerial you have to specifically choose digital on the
TV buttons. I know at least one person with two thousand pounds worth
of technology who was watching low quality TV unnecessarily. Make sure
you press the DTV button (or something similar) when you watch telly.
You will know if you have it right because you will be able to get an
on screen TV times guide. If the guide button does not work you need to
switch from analogue to digital. Having said all this the various
channels broadcasting from various regions have varying signal
specifics and there are a few caveats to my analogue/digital rule. A
good example is BBC1 actually broadcasts a higher sound quality (in
some regions) on the analogue signal.
