What is HTDV? HDTV -- high definition television -- is a type of digital television broadcasting. Digital signals (ones and zeros a computer reads) provide sound and picture quality much better than traditional televisions. What equipment do I need? What equipment do I need?

Traditionally, analog signals were sent over the air or through cables to tell your television what to display. It generally did that in 525 tiny lines across a screen. With digital signals -- which are already found on DVDs -- you can get 720 or 1080 lines, providing for a much clearer picture. HDTV also comes in an aspect ratio that is wider and more rectangular -- more like a movie theater (traditional TV uses a 4:3 ration; HDTV usually uses 16:9). It usually has 10 times the resolution of traditional TV. How does DTV help? Compressing digital signals allows broadcasters to send up to six channels of information in the same range of radio waves as on one analog channel. So one broadcaster can send multiple programs, or other data -- perhaps information services or emergency information - - over the airwaves they are allowed to use. This is called multicasting. For example, a TV station can constantly broadcast its weather radar to televisions. When will DTV be everywhere? The FCC says the target date for ending analog broadcasts is Dec. 31, 2006, but that the date may change. First, it wants 85 percent of all homes in an area to receive DTV. For now, broadcasters need to use both formats. After the switch, older televisions will need a converter box, though that will provide an inferior picture. NEXT According to the National Association of Broadcaters, there are now more than 1,000 stations broadcasting in digital, and 99 percent of the nation can get at least one signal. BACK What equipment do I need? You can by an HDTV converter for your analog television. You'll get better pictures than usual, but not the full experience. An integrated digital television will include a receiver that can handle DTV signals, and a DTV monitor will be able to display HDTV, but will need an antenna or set-top converter to capture signals. Cable and satellite providers are now also providing HDTV content, though you may have to pay an additional fee or get new equipment. There are even satellite services set up to deliver HDTV content exclusively. Note: Satellite and cable users may also have to get an antenna to catch over-the-air HDTV broadcasts from local staions. Is digital cable the same as HDTV? No. Digital cable just tells how the signal from the cable company comes to your home, where it is converted to an analog signal. Many cable companies are now also providing HDTV programming for an additional fee (and with a new set-top box) for digital cable subscribers.
