Answer 1

There won't be more channels.  All that is happening is that each existing channel will start broadcasting a digital signal instead of an analog one.

Answer 2

Because Digital Television Transmission allows compression, more channels can be "packed" in the same Bandwidth.

If you consider that the Federal Communications Commission only allows so much bandwidth, then you can conclude that yes, there will be more channels available. Now the question remains whether there will be more stations willing to transmit.

With the existent compressed digital transmission, not only they pack more channels, but also they add sub-channels to the main channels.

Answer 3

btw chanel is a name its spelled channel

Answer 4

Right now there are more channels because most stations are broadcasting on two different channels one in analog and one in digital. But next year unless things change all analog broadcasting will be stopped, and everything will be digital.

There will not be more stations , so basically nothing changes except the way stations send out their signals.
