Digital Video Technology

Digital video technology has changed television broadcasting because it means that we can be offered a wider variety of channels rather than just BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV, Channel 4 and Five. Also digital technology means that the quality of content is better than analogue content. Without digital technology we would not be able to record TV at the standard we can now, for example with Sky+ you do not have to rewind your recording like you do have to on an analogue VCR deck. Editing is helped by digital technology because it means that you can add effects so much more easily.
