digital broadcasting

Binary signal airwaves

Digital broadcasting transmits audio and video as encoded digital data rather than analog signals.

This technology replaced older broadcast methods for television and radio, offering clearer reception, more channels in the same bandwidth, and additional features like program guides and subtitles.

The digital broadcasting transition left some viewers with obsolete equipment.
