digitv - the Future of Television Best image and sound quality Wide range of channels Simple recording «Time Shift» don t miss a scene, stop live television
DIGITAL TELEVISION Digital television is the broadcasting of television programmes in digital form. New programmes are only produced in digital form. In just a few years analogue television will have been replaced by digital television. You will not need a new TV-set to receive digital television. The only item required is a new Set-Top-Box. BETTER TELEVISION The so-called High Definition Television (HDTV) stands for high-resolution television. Images are up to five times sharper and have better outlines. The technical development is a quantum leap and can be compared with the change from black/white to colour television. We would be happy to inform you about our current offer of HDTV programmes. INDIVIDUAL TELEVISION This is television just for you. Expand the basic digital programme package with your favourite Pay-TV channels. Enjoy sports, movies, adult programmes, culture, lifestyle or foreign languages. Treat yourself to an extra helping of television delight. SELECTIVE TELEVISION The EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) is integrated in digitv and appears directly on your TV-screen. It will show you a list of all programmes for the next several days. By pressing a button on your remote control you will be able to view detailed information about the current or the following programme. LARGER TELEVISION The aspect ratio in high definition television is 16:9. With this you will be able to enjoy the cinema effect at home. Older television sets may not be able to fully convert the aspect ratio. In this case black bars will make the viewable image smaller. TELEVISION WHEN YOU WANT IT You can easily record your favourite shows with the so-called PVR (Personal Video Recorder), simply by pushing a button. Or you can interrupt the programme and continue watching at a later time. EASY TELEVISION The WWZ Set-Top-Box does not require frequency changes. You no longer need to reprogram new channels. Current changes are directly forwarded to the Set-Top-Box. Sample page from an electronic programming guide (EPG) DOLBY DIGITAL TELEVISION Dolby digital is the term used for a multichannel sound system used in home theatres. With digitv the sound quality will be almost as good as in the cinema. MULTI-LANGUAGE TELEVISION Some programmes allow you to select from several available audio languages.
