What is Digital Cable?

Digital Cable is a new way to carry a television signal to your home. Digital technology enables Trans-Video Cable to "compress" its signals, thereby offering many more channels than possible with analog. All that is needed is a converter box which will be provided to you at a minimal monthly fee. Want more information about digital television? Visit www.dtv.gov
