Digital Television (DTV): Transmitting a broadcast signal by encoding it as 0s and 1s the digital code used in computers. DTV can be compressed to provide four, five, or more channels in the same bandwidth required for one channel of the current standard television, better sound, and about five times more picture information (picture elements, or pixels) than conventional television. WCET uses a different channel, i.e Channel 34, to transmit this service.
