  Digital television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Digital television (DTV) is a telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound by means of digital signals, in contrast to analog signals in analog (traditional) tv.

 Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2002-32
Thus, in the case of any mandatory television service, that is to say, any television service that must be carried by a BDU under the Regulations or by a condition of licence, the Commission expects that the distribution of both the analog version and of its digital counterpart will be required for some time.
That is to say, the digital version must not be merely a technical duplication of the analog version, although it is recognized that the amount of high definition programming contained in the A/53 digital version may be quite limited in the early stages of the transition.
The Commission would not view the involvement of television broadcasters and distributors in data transmission as a concern if measures were taken to ensure that, as a matter of policy, adequate digital distribution capacity is allocated to programming and related services.

 Completing the Transition to Digital Television   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
On the broadcast side, a higher transmitter tower increases the likelihood of a line-of-sight path from the transmitter to the receiver and consequently provides both a stronger signal and less opportunity for the signal to be reflected off of other surfaces.
Either/Or--would allow broadcasters to opt for mandatory carriage of either their analog or digital broadcast signal until 2005, when the programming carried by both signals would have to be the same and the must-carry requirement would apply only to the digital transmission.
Ironically, viewers who value television the least--the 10 percent to 15 percent of households that are not expected to subscribe to a multichannel video programming distributor by 2006--may be the key to reaching the 85 percent adoption level and triggering the cessation of stations' analog broadcasting.
