Digital broadcasting means: ■ data can be compressed so more channels can be delivered ■ viewers will see better quality TV pictures and hear CD-quality sound. Digital Teletext will mean: ■ easier navigation/control of pages ■ enhanced graphics ■ more colours and better typefaces ■ greater interactivity. ——————————————————————————————————1/5—— City Total Ents Lifestyle Racing
