signals are broadcasted or where you are able to access to a compatible DVB-C (MPEG2 and MPEG4 AAC) cable-TV service. Please check 
with your local dealer the possibility to receive DVB-T or DVB-C signal.
2.  DVB-T is the DVB European consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial television and DVB-C is that for the broadcast 
transmission of digital TV over cable. However, some differentiated features like EPG (Electric Programme Guide), VOD (Video On Demand) and so 
on, are not included in this specification. So, they cannot be workable at this moment.
3.  Although this TV set meets the latest DVB-T and DVB-C standards, as of [August, 2008], the compatibility with future DVB-T digital terrestrial 
and DVB-C digital cable broadcasts cannot be guaranteed.
4.   Depending on the countries/areas where this TV set is used some cable-TV providers may charge an additional fee for such a service and 
you may be required to agree to terms and conditions of their business.
