How digital improves viewing
On your marks, get set.... to create "Your Olympics" with digital TV
The Olympic Games 2008
More than 50 million TV viewers will be able to enjoy their own Olympics schedule next month as the growth in digital TV allows more of us than ever before to control how, what and when we watch the Beijing games.
Around nine out of ten homes now have digital TV on their main set - approximately double the level for the Athens Games in 2004, so more people than ever before will be using extra channels and interactive features to create their dream schedule of top events and sporting heroes.
Digital TV makes for a better viewing experience when watching any kind of sport. It can improve the quality of your TV picture and gives you access to high definition. It can also offer improved interactivity, including red-button services for in-depth sporting analysis and reruns of events.
Digital recording via a digital, or personal, video recorder (DVR or PVR) also give you the option to create your own Olympics by recording TV in 'real time'. There's no need to pre-programme anything - you can capture live 'iconic' moments as they happen.
