The digital television is considered to be the future of modern television and for that reason there are laws that require all the TV stations to switch from analog broadcast to digital. However, for the ordinary people so hard to understand what makes the digital television better than the analog one. Therefore, I made an article where I will try to explain the main pros and cons of the digital TV over the analog one.

ADVANTAGES :-
1) The digital broadcast offers better quality of picture and sound. Furthermore, some TV stations will be able to broadcast in high-definition. This means that you will be able to watch some of your favorite TV channels like Canal+ and Eurosport in HD for free. Furthermore, you will get improved sound, which will help you to make watching television way better.
2) The digital broadcast consumes less bandwidth than the analog one. This will free space for more wireless networks, which on the other hand will improve the communication services.
3) With the digital television, you will have access to more channels. You had probably noticed that with analog TV you have access to just a couple of TV channels, but with the new digital technology the TV stations will have the ability to broadcast more channels simultaneously.
DISADVANTAGES :-
1) The biggest disadvantage of the digital TV is the fact that you will need special equipment. For the old analog broadcast, the only thing that you needed was an antenna, but for the new digital broadcast you will need digital converter box. The prices of those boxes range from 25$ to 95$. Furthermore, you will need a new antenna if yours is too old (more than 20 years), so this means that you will have to spend somewhere between 7$ and 50$ for a new one.
2) Another disadvantage of the digital broadcast is the loss of signals. With the old analog broadcast, you are probably used to bad picture when the weather is bad, but with the new digital one you will loose all your channels entirely. Imagine that you are watching your favorite show and instead of bad quality of the picture, you get a black screen. This means that you should be getting the prefect TV signals all the time, because otherwise you will simply not get any picture at all.
