Frequently Asked Questions What Is Digital Television? Digital television (DTV) is a huge leap forward in television technology compared to analog television that has been widely available since the 1940s. DTV is delivered and displayed using digital encoding, similar to the way a PC operates. By using digital technology, there is no variation in picture and sound quality from the origination point until it is displayed on your television.

The type of screen your HDTV has (wide-screen or standard-screen) determines how the receiver displays programs on the screen. The picture format for an HDTV is a combination of aspect ratio and screen resolution and is diff erent for standard-screen and wide-screen HDTVs.
