	Terrestrial television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Terrestrial television (also known as over-the-air, OTA or broadcast television) was the traditional method of television broadcast signal delivery prior to the advent of cable and satellite television.
		Terrestrial television broadcasting dates back to the very beginnings of television as a medium itself with the first long-distance public television broadcast from Washington, D.C., on April 7, 1927.
		In North America, terrestrial broadcast television operates on TV channels 2 through 6 (VHF-low band, known as band I in Europe), 7 through 13 (VHF-high band, known as band III elsewhere), and 14 through 69 (UHF television band, elsewhere bands IV and V).

	Aerial Issues \| Articles \| Digital Terrestrial TV Reception
		Nevertheless, digital terrestrial television (DTT) came along and was duly slotted in, although the coverage achieved was, and is, a severe compromise.
		These are (a) the aerial input to the digital tuner, (b) the RF output from the digital section, carrying the aerial signals and the digital section’s modulator output, and (c) the input to the analogue tuner.
		This method of feeding all the TV sets in the house with the off-air and modulator channels is almost universal, and it is almost universally unsatisfactory.

	Digital television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Each TV station uses subchannels to carry multiple broadcasts of video, audio, or any other data, and can distribute their so-called "bit budget" as necessary, such as dropping one sub-channel down to a lower bitrate in order to make another one available to show higher quality video.
		One of the oldest means of receiving DTV (and TV in general) is using an aerial (known as an antenna in some countries).
		In the United Kingdom, the switch-off of all analog terrestrial TV broadcasts is scheduled to begin in 2007 region by region, starting with Whitehaven in Cumbria.

		The digital TV postcode check errs on the side of caution, so many fringe areas which show poor digital terrestrial TV coverage, may be able to get reasonable DTT reception if an external high gain digital compatible aerial is used.
		If your TV points use older single-screened coaxial cable and Freeview reception problems are encountered, you may need to replace the coaxial cable to your aerial with CT100 and cease use of the older cable.
		Where Freeview TV interference, pixelation or picture dropout is experienced, always check the quality and condition of the coaxial cable used as a downlead from your aerial.

		Signaling the need for allowing private participation in the terrestrial form of broadcasting, the regulator pointed out in a consultation paper that allowing the private sector in terrestrial TV broadcasting would end the monopoly of Doordarshan and provide for plurality of views.

		The ministry does not favour opening up terrestrial TV in rural areas for two reasons: it does not want any threat to DD's hold over rural viewership and even private channels might not be interested in a market considered weak and nonviable.

	DVB Multimedia Home Platform tutorials and information for interactive TV developers
		While most of the digital TV networks that are in operation in Europe and Asia are based around the DVB system, there are still differences - mainly in the areas of conditional access.

		Changing the business model doesn't necessarily mean the end of digital terrestrial TV for current viewers, but it does allow DTT operators to add subscription-based services and thus gain an additional revenue stream to support their conventional TV services.
