What is HDTV?
High-definition television (HDTV) is a new kind of television system that
involves improvements in both the production and reception of television
broadcasts. The most distinguishing features of HDTV are the aspect ratio and
increased lines of resolution. HDTV's aspect ratio is 16:9 (Width:Height) as
opposed to 4:3 of the current NTSC system. This will make the home theater
atmosphere exactly as it was meant to be. Films will retain their original size
and resolution, and the sound can be delivered in "digital-quality" 5-channel
digital audio. |

|
What equipment do I need to receive high-definition
programming
To take advantage of the latest HDTV technology and have access to over basic
channels of Dish Network And
VOOM programming, you'll need a standalone
Satellite High-Definition
Receiver from either VOOM or Dish Network. |
|
|
|
|
Can I keep using the Satellite equipment I have now?
As high-definition programming increasingly becomes the TV standard, customers
will need to invest in new TV monitors to receive it. We feel the best approach
will be to upgrade to an
HDTV-compatible receiver From VOOM or Dish Network when you purchase a new monitor. However, your current
satellite equipment will provide you with digital-quality programming for as long
as you own the system, when used with either an analog or HDTV set. |

Who makes HDTV equipment?
