'''Digital television''' (DTV) is a new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast [[television]] signals.  The digital television format is also known as [[ATSC]] (which is actually the name of the agency responsible for developing digital television standards, the Advanced Television Systems Committee; the conventional North American analog TV format is NTSC, for National Television Systems Committee).

DTV provides clearer resolution and improved sound quality, albeit a somewhat shorter signal range.  Older televisions which receive only NTSC (analog) signals will need a digital converter box to receive over the air digital television signals.  These converter boxes will work with existing [[antenna]]s.
