Are You Digital Ready?
Digital TV is ‘free to view’ and has many benefits over the old analogue system, including sharper pictures, clearer sound, wide screen and electronic program guides. Old analogue TV signals will be phased out in the not too distant future, so if you’re building a new home, now is the time to install digital TV cabling.
It’s not uncommon for families to have more than three televisions in the one household, so it’s important that everyone receives a quality signal to get the most of their viewing.
What will happen if my cabling system is not ready for digital TV?
If your cabling system is not digital ready, you may experience the following:
No picture at all
If you have a poor quality cabling system you may experience no
picture at all.
Intermittent picture / no picture
You may receive a digital signal but find it drops in and out while you watch your favourite shows.
Boxing
Boxing is the large blocks within a picture that occur when the signal received is distorted.
Pixilation
Pixilation is the small boxing of the picture that generally affects the whole picture.
