Why The Switch To Digital TV?

(celinacony). Submitted on Mon, 2 Jul 2012

While many people are reaping the benefits of Digital TV in Paisley and other areas of the country, some want to know what prompted the Digital switchover.  There are many reasons, of course, but one of the most prominent is the fact that digital signals take up less room, or bandwidth than analogue signals.  This means that there is more space available for communications from public safety entities for one thing.  In addition, it allows broadcasters to offer many more advanced services such as wireless options and interactive options.



Many more programming choices are available, and the programming is being broadcast at a higher quality than the old analogue signals.  Many people can really tell the difference in the quality of the pictures being sent and sound has also been enhanced.  With the increased efficiency of digital signals, broadcasters can offer more choices to consumers.  They can offer a multitude of Standard Definition programmes or a single High Definition programme all at the same time.  This is called multicasting, and allows broadcasters to send a number of channels at the same time.  This is why you now see channels listed as 5-1, 5-2, 5-3 and so on.  With the analogue signals, there was only room for a basic channel 5.

While there are also many different paid programming options, nearly everyone can access digital TV in Paisley through the Freeview using an aerial and a set box.  There are also new on-screen listings that are available with digital TV that were not available with analogue signals.  Interactive programming is becoming more popular all the time and more broadcasters are using this type of programming.  Audio descriptions for  those who are visually impaired and subtitling for hearing impaired people are also widely available.

Whether you like the clarity of sight and sound that High Definition TV can bring or you like the options of many different channels, there are many benefits that are a result of the digital switchover.  If you did not get converters or digital boxes for each of your existing television sets, you can still do that.  You can also decide if you want to switch from your current aerial to satellite service.  While new technology can seem daunting, it is actually very easy to switch to digital TV in Paisley.
