How to View Digital Television

There are three ways to watch DTV. The first is to use an integrated digital TV; one with a built-in digital television tuner. The second is to connect an external DTV set-top receiver to a DTV-ready television or monitor. This type of TV or monitor will have wideband component video and stereo audio inputs. You can also watch DTV signals with personal computer (PC) tuner cards and computer monitors.

Integrated TVs versus DTV-ready TVs and monitors

The advantage of an integrated DTV set is that it can tune both analog and digital TV channels at the same time. All you'll need to do is add an external antenna and you are ready to watch DTV.

However, integrated DTV sets are not as common as DTV-ready TVs and monitors.

If you already own a DTV-ready TV with component video inputs, you can enjoy DTV broadcasts by simply adding a low-cost DTV set-top receiver and antenna.
