ore offers mobile reception of high quality
without the need of a fixed aerial connection. DVB-T is therefore described as “
Terres-
trial television
”.
Advantages of DVB-T In addition to a significant gain in quality, the transmitter capacity of a television channel can be realised more effectively th
rough digital transmitter technology rather
than analog signals. The greater data rate
enables several programs of one television
channel to be transmitted bundled in one data
flow (so called “Multiplex”). Part of the
transmitter capacity can also be used for a
dditional services, e.g. electronic program
guides or radio. “Hybrid tuner” for analog
and digital reception
The supply of DVB-T has up to now been re
stricted to densely populated regions, so
that an analog television receiver in the vehicle is still a prerequisite. It is for this reason that a
Hybrid tuner
was developed for the unit, which consists of a common analog
TV receiver and a DVB-T receiver. Display of analog an
