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.
