What Is Analogue and Digital with regard to Plasma & LCD TV's

This could be a really long discussion but I just want to quickly make a point about setting up your new TV so I am going to over simplify the difference in order to explain. Digital is a higher quality picture than analogue.

Very few instruction manuals make it clear that if you are plugged in via a terrestrial aerial you have to specifically choose digital on the TV buttons. I know at least one person with two thousand pounds worth of technology who was watching low quality TV unnecessarily. Make sure you press the DTV button (or something similar) when you watch telly. You will know if you have it right because you will be able to get an on screen TV times guide. If the guide button does not work you need to switch from analogue to digital. Having said all this the various channels broadcasting from various regions have varying signal specifics and there are a few caveats to my analogue/digital rule. A good example is BBC1 actually broadcasts a higher sound quality (in some regions) on the analogue signal. Laviva Online Store
