Digital Television? The primary benefits of digital televisions are superior picture quality and better sound. The analog signals we watch today are made of 525 interlaced lines and are subject to flickering, ghost shadows, and blurring. Digital televisions are dramatically different in that they receive signals digitally in the form of 0s and 1s so problems with ghost shadows and blurring go away. Digital signals also produce higher quality picture, displaying crisp, sharp and vivid images using up to 1080 lines instead of 525 lines. Additionally, digital television signals can deliver cinema quality sound effects using 6 channel Dolby Digital surround sound instead of only two regular
stereo channels. Are large screen tv digital broadcasts available now? Digital broadcasts are available through terrestrial (antenna), satellite, and in the near future, cable systems.
