| DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION General Frequently Asked Questions |
Why do some programs look “clearer” than others on my digital
television?
Depending on your television, you may notice the resolution of the
picture changing between programs. With a higher resolution
television, lower resolution channels or programming will appear in
their lower resolution. Therefore, switching between a channel or
program that is broadcast at a high resolution to a channel or
program of a lower resolution will result in a visible loss of image
quality.
