->ALL<- Questions and Answers about Broadcast Tv Reception and More.

The more Correct term is Sub Channels.

Saying Sub Stations , the word stations is misleading.

It is always a good idea to move in the direction of the more correct word and concept.

Not away from the more correct word and concept.

As an example , A question asker , here in a past post , said they have "one of those pizza pan antennas" .

I ask them to provide more information of what , "one of those pizza pan antennas" is.

They would not do it.


The old days of Analog Tv are all but Gone Now.

In the old days one Analog channel of 6 MHZ. could transmit only one tv channel.

Many people , in their mind and experience are living in the past and respond to Digital Tv as if it is Analog Tv with only one channel.

Digital Tv , in the SAME 6 MHZ.

Can put in 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , and even , 5 , 6 , Tv channels.


As an example.

Analog Tv |<--1 analog channel 6MHZ wide ----->|.

Digital Tv |<--multipul digital Tv channels ------>|. in the Same 6 MHZ.

Digital puts -->More<-- information in the same amount of 'space' as analog.


As an example.

Tv channel 15 will hold/contain only 1 Analog Tv channel.

However that same Tv channel 15 will hold/contain multipul digital Tv channels.

There must be No analog signal in the Channel 15 so that the digital signals can be put in the Channel 15.

Has nothing to do with this Tv tower or that Tv tower or some other Tv tower.

Many as in -->Many people are <--> Stuck <-- in the analog past.

Yes it is true that there is a , tv transmitter , tower , and a transmitting antenna , However.


And audio only and data can also be transmitted.
