'''Terrestrial high-definition television''' is a form of broadcast high-definition television that is received via the terrestrial airwaves using either a [[Engineering:Very high frequency|VHF]] television aerial or a [[Physics:Ultra high frequency|UHF]] television aerial. Depending on the country, the high definition television channels are broadcasts using either ATSC, [[Company:ISDB#ISDB-T|ISDB-T]], [[DVB-T]] or [[Engineering:DVB-T2|DVB-T2]].

==Countries without terrestrial high-definition television==
Some countries such as {{wipe|Germany}}, The Netherlands and Belgium may only broadcasts their channels in standard definition via the terrestrial airwaves. This is largely because the uptake of [[Engineering:Cable television|cable television]] may be higher than that of terrestrial television, thus giving broadcasters very little incentive to provide their high-definition services via the terrestrial airwaves.
