Citizendia

Digital Terrestrial Television (DTTV or DTT) is an implementation of digital technology to provide a greater number of channels and/or better quality of picture and sound using aerial broadcasts to a conventional antenna (or aerial) instead of a satellite dish or cable connection. An antenna is a Transducer designed to transmit or Receive electromagnetic waves In other words antennas convert electromagnetic waves into A satellite dish is a type of Parabolic antenna that receives or transmits electromagnetic signals to and from another location typically a satellite A cable is one or more Wires or Optical fibers bound together typically in a common protective jacket or sheath The technology used is ATSC in North America, ISDB-T in Japan, DVB-T in Europe and Australia, and DMB-T/H in China (including Hong Kong); the rest of the world remaining mostly undecided. Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB is a Japanese standard for Digital television (DTV and Digital radio used by the country's radio DVB-T is an abbreviation for Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial; it is the DVB European-based consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of DMB-T/H or DTMB ( GB 20600-2006 is the Digital terrestrial television standard applied in the People's Republic of China (PRC including ISDB-T is very similar to DVB-T and can share front-end receiver and demodulator components.

Transmission

DTTV is transmitted on radio frequencies through the airwaves that are similar to standard analog television, with the primary difference being the use of multiplex transmitters to allow reception of multiple channels on a single frequency range (such as a UHF or VHF channel). Radio frequency ( RF) is a Frequency or rate of Oscillation within the range of about 3 Hz to 300 GHz Analog (or analogue) television encodes Television picture and sound information and transmits it as an Analog signal: one in which the For multiplexing in electronics and signal processing see Multiplexer. Very high frequency (VHF is the Radio frequency range from 30 MHz to 300 MHz.

The amount of data that can be transmitted (and therefore the number of channels) is directly affected by the modulation method of the channel. Debt AIDS Trade in Africa (or DATA) is a Multinational non-government organization founded in January 2002 in London by U2 's The modulation method in DVB-T is COFDM with either 64 or 16 state Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). DVB-T is an abbreviation for Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial; it is the DVB European-based consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing ( OFDM) — essentially identical to Coded OFDM ( COFDM) and Discrete multi-tone modulation ( In general a 64QAM channel is capable of transmitting a greater bitrate, but is more susceptible to interference. 16 and 64QAM constellations can be combined in a single multiplex, providing a controllable degradation for more important programme streams. This is called hierarchical modulation. Link adaptation, or adaptive modulation and coding (AMC, is a term used in wireless communications to denote the matching of the Modulation, Coding and

New developments in compression have resulted in the MPEG-4/AVC standard which will enable two high definition services to be coded into a 24 Mbit/s European terrestrial transmission channel.

The DVB-T standard is not used for terrestrial digital television in North America. Instead, the ATSC standard calls for 8VSB modulation, which has similar characteristics to the vestigial sideband modulation used for analogue television. 8VSB is the 8-level Vestigial sideband modulation method adopted for terrestrial broadcast of the ATSC digital television standard in the United States, In Radio communications a sideband is a band of Frequencies higher than or lower than the Carrier frequency, containing power as a result of This provides considerably more immunity to interference, but is not immune - as DVB-T is - to multipath distortion and also does not provide for single-frequency network operation (which is in any case not relevant in the United States).

Both systems use the MPEG-2 transport stream and video codec; they differ significantly in how related services (such as multichannel audio, captions, and program guides) are encoded. MPEG-2 is a standard for "the generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information" Transport stream ( TS, TP, MPEG-TS, or M2T) is a Communications protocol for audio, video, and data A video Codec is a device or Software that enables Video compression and/or decompression for digital video

Reception

DTTV is received via a digital set-top box, or integrated receiving device, that decodes the signal received via a standard aerial antenna. A set-top box (STB or set-top unit (STU is a device that connects to a Television and an external source of signal, turning the signal into An antenna is a Transducer designed to transmit or Receive electromagnetic waves In other words antennas convert electromagnetic waves into However, due to frequency planning issues, an aerial with a different group (usually a wideband) may be required if the DTTV multiplexes lie outside the bandwidth of the originally installed aerial. This is quite common in the UK, see external links.

DTT Around the world

Main article: List of digital television deployments by country

Europe

The United Kingdom (1998), Sweden (1999) and Spain (2000) were the first to launch DTT with platforms heavily reliant on pay television. This is a list of Digital television deployments by country, which summarises the process and progress of transition from analogue to digital broadcasting All platforms experienced many starter problems, in particular the British and Spanish platforms which failed financially. Nevertheless, Boxer, the Swedish pay platform which started in 2004, proved to be very successful.

DTT in the United Kingdom was launched in November 1998 as a primarily subscription service branded as ONdigital, a joint venture between Granada Television and Carlton Communications, with only a few channels being available free to air. Digital terrestrial television in the United Kingdom is made up of over fifty primarily free-to-air television channels (including all the national analogue stations ITV Digital was a British Digital terrestrial television broadcaster, which launched a pay-TV service on the world's first digital terrestrial television network Granada Television is the United Kingdom ITV contractor for North West England. Carlton Communications Limited (previously Carlton Communications plc was a British media company ONdigital soon ran into financial difficulties with subscriber numbers below expectations, and in order to attempt to reverse their fortunes, it was decided that the ITV and ONdigital brands should align, and the service was rebranded ITV Digital in 2001. Despite an expensive advertising campaign, ITV Digital struggled to attract sufficient new subscribers and in 2002 closed the service. After commercial failure of the Pay TV proposition it was relaunched as the free-to-air Freeview platform in 2002. Free-to-air (FTA Television (TV and Radio broadcasts are sent unencrypted and may be received via any suitable receiver Free-to-view Freeview is an operator of free Digital terrestrial television in the United Kingdom, using the DVB-T standard Top Up TV, a lite pay DTT service, became available in 2004. Top Up TV is a digital Terrestrial Pay TV service offering content from 23 subscription Channels such as Living, G Of all countries, the UK DTT has currently the highest penetration rate, in mid 2007 there were over 8 million subscribers. UK covers Northern Ireland DTT.

In the Republic of Ireland IT's TV was the sole applicant for a digital terrestrial television license under the provisions of the Irish Broadcasting Act 2001 which also established Telífís na Gaeilge, now TG4. It proposed a triple play deployment with Broadband, TV and Digital Radio services. However following financial difficulties with other DTT deployments, most particularly in the neighbouring UK and in Spain and Portugal, Its TV failed to get its license conditions varied or to get a time extension and its license was eventually withdrawn for non performance. Under subsequent legislation in May 2007, RTÉ and the separate broadcasting (BCI soon BAI) and spectrum regulators (ComReg) were mandated to invite applications during 2008 under the Broadcasting (Amendment) Act 2007 and the regulators which ComReg have issued to the BCI and which they BCI advertised and opened with submissions closing on May 2nd 2008. The Broadcasting (Amendment Act 2007 is an Act of the Oireachtas (Irish parliament RTÉ Networks is required to broadcast in digital under the new Act and will receive an automatic license through the RTÉ Authority (soon the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland in its place) and will upgrade part of its network over a 5 year period. 1 Mux (group of channel radiowave space) will be public service with 98% Analogue Switchover (ASO) coverage required for Digital Aerial TV (DTT). The BAI 3 will will have a 90% coverage requirement at ASO. Following ASO 1 addition PSB mux and 1 or more commercial muxes will be made available for DTT, mobile television and other services.

The BCI (soon BAI received 3 conditional applications for 3 muxes which were presented in public on May 12th 2008 in Dublin, (conditional on all 3 muxes) and will decide on the winning consortium around July 21st 2008. [1]

A Houses of the Oireachtas Channel and Irish Film Channel Commissions will also be established under the Broadcasting Act 2008 as new public service broadcasters. The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland will replace the Broadcasting Complaints Commission, the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland and the RTÉ Authority and include Awards and Advisory Committees.
