It is said that roads and transportation are the lifelines of a country, but in the modern world, Television easily beats roads to that title and why not? Who cares about boring grey tarmac when you can discover a whole new world at the flick of the remote?

It’s only human to want more of everything we like and television is no exception. We don’t just want more TV because we get more channels than we care to even surf through, but what we would really like right now is better picture quality in our everyday programs.

Unless you are amongst the minority who actually went out and bought a Digital TV, you probably have the good old analogue set in your living room.

Before we proceed to understanding how DTV works, let’s first understand how motion and images function:

All images are made of tiny dots called pixels. Each pixel has a specific color and intensity (tone/brightness/contrast). When you look at all the pixels packed closely together, you get an image. The more pixels you can pack in a specific size, the more options the image processing or capturing device has of varying the shades of each color per pixel.
