digital terrestrial television dtt dtv or dttv is a broadcast technology that transmits television signals digitally over the air replacing analog transmission methods it has become the primary form of free to air broadcasting in many countries offering improved picture quality and the capacity to carry multiple channels within a single frequency reception typically requires a television antenna and a compatible receiver such as a hd uhd tv or set top box the conversion from analog to digital broadcasting known as the digital transition or analog switch off aso began with experimental transmissions in the 1990s by the mid 2000s many governments had established timelines for phasing out analog signals with deadlines for the changeover often including subsidies for equipment upgrades and limited exemptions for remote areas regional technical standards differ widely north america and south korea developed atsc 1 and atsc 3 0 while europe and most of africa and oceania primarily use dvb t and dvb t2 japan and much of central and south america adopted isdb t and isdb tb and china operates the dtmb standard some of these standards also support mobile reception and interactive

using radio frequencies through terrestrial space in the same way as the former analog television systems with the primary difference being the use of multiplex transmitters to allow reception of multiple services tv radio stations or data on a single frequency such as a uhf or vhf channel the amount of data that can be transmitted and therefore the number of channels is directly affected by channel capacity and the modulation method of the transmission 5 north america and south korea use the atsc standard with 8vsb modulation which has similar characteristics to the vestigial sideband modulation used for analog television this provides considerably more immunity to interference but it is not immune to multipath distortion and also does not provide for single frequency network operation which is in any case not a requirement in the united states citation needed the modulation method used in dvb t is cofdm with either 64 or 16 state quadrature amplitude modulation qam in general 64qam is capable of transmitting at a greater bit rate but it is more susceptible to interference 16 and 64qam constellations can be combined in a single multiplex providing a controllable degradation for more important program streams this is called hierarchical modulation dvb t and even more so dvb t2 is tolerant of multipath distortion and are designed to work in single frequency networks developments in video compression have resulted in improvements to the original discrete cosine transform dct based h 262 mpeg 2 video coding format which has been surpassed by h 264 mpeg 4 avc and more recently h 265 hevc h 264 enables three high definition television services to be coded into a 24 mbit s dvb t european terrestrial transmission channel 5 dvb t2 increases this channel
