8. About the change to Digital TV
Digital television makes more efficient use of the broadcast spectrum, and offers improved picture and sound.
Broadcasting a TV signal uses magnetic waves sent out on an assigned frequency, or channel. All of the channels together make up the broadcast spectrum.

Digital TV uses less of the spectrum than analog TV does. So, by switching to digital, we can free up more broadcasting space. The space that becomes available can be used for public safety and wireless services.

Plus digital TV actually gives you better pictures and sound. So, you're getting better quality TV and more space for other uses.
