HDTV - High Definition Television
See the difference with High Definition Broadcasts
HDTV is high definition television and it can make an enormous difference in your television viewing experience. Many consumers describe the HDTV experience as being closer to watching a movie in the theater than watching a standard television set at home. HDTV offers high quality digital picture with a higher resolution than normal television screens. The higher resolution results in a much clearer, crisper picture quality that is unable to be replicated by any cable tv service. HDTV offers you the ability to watch widescreen movies and programs without the annoying top and bottom black bars that your regular television displays. HDTV is the way the movie directors intended for movie watchers to view their films. With HDTV, you will feel like your directly in the action of your favorite program.
Currently with your regular color television, waves are scanned at 480i. This means that at any given time there are 480 lines of picture being sent to your television screen by your service provider. Odd lines are displayed, followed by even lines. The change occurs so quickly, that the human eye believes it is seeing one big picture. With the introduction of HDTV, there are far more lines transmitted (at either more than double interlaced or progressively) giving us a much higher resolution and better quality picture.
In order to fully enjoy the HDTV experience, you will need to introduce a few things to your home. To get started, you need:
High Definition Television set
High Definition television sets are available at most consumer electronic stores and are becoming more affordable for the general public. These HDTV sets are the first step in obtaining a clearer, picture that provides an experience similar to going to the movie theater. A source (local television, cable or satellite tv station)
Even with a HDTV, you may not notice any difference in normal channels. Your channel viewed must be broadcast in high definition in order to see the advanced quality HDTV picture quality. A way to receive the signal (antennae, cable or satellite tv system)
All providers are generally offering some HDTV channels. Satellite tv providers are able to offer far more HDTV channels than your local cable tv company. Be aware that digital channels often offered through cable tv companies is not the same as HDTV service.
In addition to a better quality picture, you will also enjoy higher quality sound effects with HDTV. The HDTV digital audio sound provides more of a movie theater like experience while in the confort of your home. To provide the best in entertainment quality in your home, HDTV is the way of the future. As more channels are broadcast in HD format, your television viewing experience will only improve in quality.
Satellite tv providers not only offer HD channels but their other program channels are offered via a digital signal. Digitalized satellite tv signals result in a clearer picture than the analog signal offered by many cable tv companies today. DISH Network currently offers the most high definition channels available anywhere. With more than 1700 hours per week of high definition programming, DISH Network is an excellent option for receiving HD channels including HBO, Showtime, Discovery Channel, ESPN and more.
