HD stands for “high definition”, and is the newest feature in television technology. The picture contains around four times as many pixels, giving it more vibrant colours and deeper detail, for a far more lifelike viewing experience. The greater resolution with HD TV highlights incredible detail to enhance your viewing.
To watch HD TV you will need to make sure you have the following:
1. a TV capable of displaying high-definition pictures
2. a TV package that includes high definition programmes
3. a receiver that can decode the high definition signal, such Sky's HD box or Virgin's V+ box
BBC, Sky and Virgin Media are the current leaders in broadcasting HD TV programmes to the UK, but the rumour is that other companies may be following, with rumours of some high definition programmes being broadcast on Freeview in the future.
