DTT is a multifaceted process with major benefits and impacts on production, reception and transmission and therefore offers television viewers more channels, improved picture quality, better reception and sound, electronic television guides, enhanced parental control features and allows for an interactive service and mobile television.Digital television also reduces costs for both broadcasters and television viewers”.
