AUTOPROGRAM CHANNELS Rear of DPTV

The “DTV Setup” menu automatically takes care

of some of the digital channel scan memory functions for the DPTV. Once connected to receive local digital broadcast transmissions, available area stations can be quickly added into the DPTV's channel memory for programmed channel selection or access.

SUBCHANNEL SELECTIONS

Note: The new standards (for bandwidth and signal com- pression) employed with digi- tal ATSC broadcasting make it possible to receive multiple program channels under a single “major” channel num- ber. For example, under a tra- ditional channel “6” broad- cast program number you might be able to find as many as four or more additional programs available for selec- tion. These so called “sub- channels” might carry a “06.01, 06.02, 06.03, etc.” type station number designation and could be selected by pressing a four digit remote control direct-access channel number entry.

The multiplication and diver- sity of sub-channel program- ming is contingent upon the decisions of broadcasters and how the space allocated for high-definition television sig- nals might be used. The con- tent and information available with sub-channels will be an evolving digital issue which could experience redirection on a number of multicasting information technology path- ways. For example, the “squeezing” of numerous Standard Definition digital channels (SDTV) into signal bandwidths could be used rather than dedicating the total signal spectrum to true High Definition (HDTV) broadcasts that would rival the picture resolution and quality of film or cinema.
