ever, you cannot enjoy HD programs, which are the highest quality digital TV programs, using
an SD digital TV. Especially, as SD broadcasting has an aspect ratio of 4:3, HD broadcasting

digital TV, it is better to purchase an HD digital TV.(At present, all digital TVs from Samsung

via both indoor and outdoor antennas.

existing indoor antenna. If not, it is better to install an outdoor UHF antenna.
Q: How do I connect an antenna for an apartment or tenement house?
A: Consult the superintendent's office or broadcasting facility administrator for your apartment or
tenement house to check whether UHF reception is available.
A: Even if digital TV broadcasting is available in your area, if you cannot watch it because the
superintendent's office or common broadcasting facility does not rebroadcast the signal, you
have to install an indoor or outdoor antenna.

subscribe to it.
