No. Analog televisions are not capable of displaying high-definition resolution, but the picture will generally be better with a converter. If you want to view high-definition TV, then you will need one of the newer sets rated for "high-definition" resolution. Applicants must meet the Census definition of a household as consisting of "all persons who currently occupy a house, apartment, mobile home, group of rooms, or single room that is occupied as separate living quarters and has a separate U.

It is a TV format that contains upto five times more detail than the standard definition TV. This improvement is staggering, the impact dramatic - just like the move from black and white to colour TV. This is because of the increased picture resolution that HD broadcasts deliver and HD ready displays are able to receive. Pictures are broadcast in widescreen.

A display's ability to fully resolve all the details in a broadcast is dependent upon its resolution. An HDTV-capable flat panel monitor has higher resolution capability than an EDTV model, which allows it to display more of the detail in an HDTV broadcast. EDTV flat panel monitors must convert HDTV signals into a lower resolution that's compatible with the display capability of the flat panel monitor.

Sky digital launched HDTV during June 2006. Their lineup includes a combination of sports, movies, entertainment and documentary programming. To get the best of these new HD programmes a Sky Digital subscription is required and a new Sky + HD receiver, which also allows you to record a different channel on digital to the one you are viewing. This is all recorded onto the internal hard drive, which means you don’t have to worry about tapes or discs.

No. The Digital TV system used in the UK is the same resolution as analogue - 625 lines. However, the digital technology greatly enhances the picture quality you actually receive using this resolution. HDTV gives an even better picture, but requires new, expensive television sets. The American Digital TV system uses HDTV, and, due to the significantly higher costs involved, is not taking off nearly as quickly as digital TV in the UK.

HDMI is the all-in-one, standardized, universal connector for audio/video applications. HDMI is set to unify all digital media components with a single cable, remote, and interface. HDMI is built with a 5 Gbps bandwidth limit, that is over twice of HDTV (which runs at 2.2 Gbps). It is an interface built for the future technologies. The connectors are sliding contact type just like FireWire and USB instead of screw-on like DVI.

Yes, this is possible. The MultiTasker can be set up to feed any kind of signal via a freely configurable Matrix switcher. This unit can then be controlled and accessed with AVSnap from a local PC, wall mounted control buttons or touch panel screen.

To receive high-definition programming transmitted via satellite, you will need an HD satellite receiver, and a new, larger dish. Most receivers are equipped like most DVD-Video players, that is, with a built-in, two-channel Dolby Digital decoder with analog stereo out puts, and a Dolby Digital output for 5.1-channel sound with an external 5.1-channel Dolby Digital decoder unit.

Yes. Manufacturers of converters are required to pass through Closed Captioning to display on your television.

Yes. The Kaleidescape System has been designed for the anticipated widespread availability of HD content. The massive disk capacity of the Server is ideal for storing HD movies.

Provided you have a HD Ready television you can connect a Sky HD receiver and watch several Sky channels in High Definition now. Terrestrial HD reception is not available at the moment, as there will not be adequate bandwidth until the analogue signal is turned off. In the future, terrestrial HD receivers will become available, which will connect to your HD Ready television and enable HD terrestrial reception.

NO! this is a major misconception, and your new HD ready TV won’t magically turn standard-definition into HD. You need to feed your new HD ready TV with a High Definition source, i.e Sky Digital HD. As we are aware not many people want to subscribe to a subscription service but HD is a premium service and will more than likely remain so as the cost of making HD programmes is expensive.

Most High Definition resolutions are presented in progressive format. This means that the video is not interlaced but instead the entire image is drawn on the screen at the same time instead of alternating horizontal lines. Computer screens are an example of progressive displays and this is why many of the HDTV resolutions sound like computer display resolutions.

If you are watching a regular TV (4:3) with a standard NTSC signal, the bars on the side of the screen are normal. You can press the "aspect" button to change the mode so that the picture fills the entire screen. Most HDTVs will let you choose between modes such as Zoom, Full and Justified. When the TV is in the Full or Justified mode, the picture is stretched to fill the screen.

HDTV is a name given to two of the digital television (DTV) formats. HDTV provides high resolution programming.
