Benefits To Going Digital
Although digital TV doesn't always produce a better image than analog, there are many reasons why it is preferable. First of all, digital signals are able to store and transmit much more data, and they are able to keep this data more consistent over longer distances. Digital TV also doesn't produce as many problems with the picture like analog does, and it has the capability to extend beyond audio and video.PBS: Digital vs. Analog
