HDTV

High definition television, known as HDTV, can make an massive difference in your television viewing experience. Many customers’ experience with HDTV compares it with watching a movie in a theater than watching ordinary television. HDTV presents a digital picture with a higher resolution than normal television screens. A clearer, sharper picture is the end result of the higher resolution. You can also enjoy watching wide screen movies and programs without the annoying black bars that come from your regular television set. This is the way movie directors intended for their films to be watched. Get in on more of the action of your desired program with HDTV.

Regular color television waves are currently scanned at 480i. The meaning of this is that being sent to your television screen at any given time are 480 lines by your service provider. Odd lines are presented, followed by even lines. The human eye comprehends you are seeing one picture because the change happens so quickly. With the introduction of HDTV, customers receive higher resolution and better quality picture because there are more lines transmitted. These could be either more than double interlaced or progressively.
