How to View Digital Television
There are three ways to watch DTV. The first is to use an integrated digital TV; one with
a built-in digital television tuner. The second is to connect an external DTV set-top
receiver to a DTV-ready television or monitor. This type of TV or monitor will have
wideband component video and stereo audio inputs. You can also watch DTV signals
with personal computer (PC) tuner cards and computer monitors.
1. Integrated TVs versus DTV-ready TVs and monitors
The advantage of an integrated DTV set is that it can tune both analog and digital TV
channels at the same time. All you'll need to do is add an external antenna and you are
ready to watch DTV.
However, integrated DTV sets are not as common as DTV-ready TVs and monitors.
If you already own a DTV-ready TV with component video inputs, you can enjoy DTV
broadcasts by simply adding a low-cost DTV set-top receiver and antenna.
2. Using a personal computer and monitor
There are plug-in cards available that will receive and display DTV broadcasts on your
computer monitor. In addition, many computer monitors will display one or more of
the DTV program formats directly. The most compatible format is 480p, which is similar
to the VGA (640x480 pixel) computer display standard. You may be able to watch DTV
broadcasts by connecting a computer monitor to the 15-pin jack on the rear of the
settop DTV receiver.
