Y al poder contar con una guía

Question

The full sentence is La television digital permite la mejor difusión de los servicios televisados. Y al poder contar con una guía electrónica de programas

what's the meaning of 'al' here.

My understanding is 'al' should be equal to 'a el', is it lack of one noun, should it say: 'a la television instead of al'

"Poder" is a verb, but "el poder" means "the power." - Jubilado, Oct 28, 2013

Answer 1

al refers to el poder and not to "la televisión."

Also the last clause is not a complate sentence and should be linked to the first sentence - no period after "televisados" and small y following.

but poder is a verb, why can it follow by el - kingla_pei, Oct 28, 2013
