If you finally decided to make the exciting leap to HDTV or if you are still researching DishHD, take some time to read thru our HD section to help answer all of your HDTV and DishHD questions.

First, let us define what HDTV stands for. HDTV or High Definition Television has approximately twice the picture resolution of your standard analog television. This makes the HDTV picture about 6 times sharper and crisper than today's standard definition broadcasts. This gives you a life-like picture that is so clear you can see each blade of grass on a football field.

Another key difference between SD, or Standard Definition and HDTV is the screen aspect ratio. A Standard Definition Analog Television has an aspect ration of 4:3 where as a High Definition Television has an aspect ratio of 16:9. Since HDTVs have a crisper more defined picture, it significantly reduces ghosting, shadows and dot crawl.

The crisp picture isn't the only characteristic of HDTV, the sound is a key element as well. To be considered HDTV, the programming must be broadcast in Dolby 5.1. Dolby 5.1 with AC-3 technology provides separated channels of CD-quality stereo surround sound. This sound quality with the crisp picture of High-Definition Television results in an incredible television viewing, and listening, experience.

Although you may have gone out and bought a new LCD or Plasma television that is capable of displaying HDTV, you still may need a few more components. To watch HDTV, you really need 3 things.

1. A HDTV Television or Monitor (Plasma, LCD, CRT, DLP, etc)
2. HDTV receiving equipment including an antenna and receiver with a HD decoder
3. HDTV programming
