In a world where technology changes seemingly by the second, keeping apace with the changing times can be an uphill battle. Yet there is one televisual revolution that one cannot afford to not keep up with, and that is HDTV.
Better known as HD TV (or sometimes simply HDTV, without the space), high definition television is the key revolutionary word in TV broadcast. As the name somewhat implies, HD is the same television programmes you’re used to watching, but broadcast in higher definition. This means that the picture quality is four (or sometimes five) times clearer than normal standard definition, and cinema style ‘surround sound’ is used for a total viewing experience. If you like your television and watch it a lot, High Definition Television is the future.
To receive HD television broadcast properly, you need two things. The first is an HD ready or compatible TV; manufacturers and electrical stores will be able to tell you which sets work with high definition programming. The television may be more expensive than standard definition sets, but with HD television a growing medium that has become a must for regular television viewers, try and see it as an investment.
Secondly, you will need a cable, dish or satellite subscription. Only some channels broadcast in HD TV, and to use the HD facilities you will need to be tuned to one of these channels. You can still watch standard definition broadcasts on your high definition television, only they will not be shown in high definition. To get the full HD effect, you need the programme to be being broadcast in HD, and have a television that can receive HD tv pictures. With these two magic ingredients, the wonders of HD await you.
