  NEXTGEN TV, also known as ATSC 3.0, is the next generation of digital television broadcasting technology. It offers a number of benefits over ATSC 1.0, the current standard, including:
  • Improved picture quality: NEXTGEN TV can deliver Ultra HD (4K) resolution, which is four times the resolution of Full HD (1080p). It can also support HDR (high dynamic range), which provides a wider range of colors and contrast.
  • Improved sound quality: NEXTGEN TV can deliver immersive surround sound, with up to 5.1 channels.
  • More interactive features: NEXTGEN TV can deliver interactive features, such as the ability to see closed captions in real time, or to vote on reality show contestants.
  • More robust signal reception: NEXTGEN TV is more robust than ATSC 1.0, and can provide better reception in areas with poor signal quality.
    
    In addition to these benefits, NEXTGEN TV is also backwards compatible with ATSC 1.0, so you can still watch your favorite shows even if you don't have a NEXTGEN TV receiver.
