The audio is digital, so sound quality is better than on an analog TV, similar to
a CD compared to FM radio.

All TV stations are required by law to convert to digital only TV broadcast; however, they may not offer High-Definition (HD) broadcast. Most stations will deliver some HD programming.

The Standard Definition TV picture format is the lowest resolution transmitted by terrestrial (over-the-air) TV stations. The least expensive digital TV sets sold by retailers will most likely have a 480i resolution with a 4:3 picture aspect ratio, so pick your new digital TV very carefully!

In order to receive an enhanced quality picture you will need a TV capable of receiving Enhanced Digital TV (EDTV) or High Definition TV (HDTV) formats.
