HDTV Antenna
The HDTV Antenna
The US Senate bill is proposing to implement a law or legislation that would allow the complete shift in TV broadcast transmission from analog to digital.
That means that after February 17, 2009, the conventional, traditional and widely used analog TV sets in the United States will be obsolete and almost completely useless.
Analog TV sets would not be able to receive signal transmissions from digital broadcasters anymore. Thus, the lower-income TV viewers would have to be deprived of TV entertainment. That would certainly spell trouble, in big bold words.
However, the US Senate also approved a resolution that would make the federal government subsidize the average-income consumers’ use of converter boxes to enable them to watch the proposed, improved, better and new digital broadcasts from their favorite TV network still using their analog TVs.
The initiative will be timely and called for because HDTV antennas will come along with new HDTVs, and they would not be compatible with analog TVs.
The proposed legislation would definitely allow low-income analog TV users to still use their analog TVs but at the same time empower them and give them access to digital TV broadcasts.
That resolution is still pending in the US Senate. But people expect the transition to digital broadcasts to resume and take place within the allotted time frame. Thus, converter boxes will also be popular in a couple years time as digital broadcasts conquers the air waves and digital TV sets still remain expensive.
HDTVs
High definition television or HDTV is the fast rising and more popular TV technology that is making the market anticipating, excited and longing all at the same time.
Warm perception for HDTV depends and is attributed on its ability and feature that is far more superior compared to its earlier counterparts in the TV manufacturing industry.
On the average, marketers and sales men estimate that the price of an HDTV is about 15 to 25 times more o above the price tag for the regular and conventional TV sets currently out and released in the market.
HDTV quality
The most breath-taking feature of the HDTV is its superior screen quality. The screen of HDTV is far more better than the screen quality of the conventoal analog TV.
What more, with the excellent sound quality that comes along in the package with HDTV, it is totally awesome! Nothing can compare to it.
HDTV antenna
A downside for HDTV is its signal or HDTV antenna capacity. Because HDTV uses the complex and sophisticated digital broadcasting technology, HDTV must have its own compatible and specially designed HDTV antenna that is not compatible to receive or accept signals from analog TV broadcast transmitters.
Current broadcast technologies employed by all TV networks are still analog. It is estimated that a complete switch to digital TV transmission will be far costlier and more expensive for the whole TV industry.
In the case of the United States, which is one of the countries to switch to digital broadcasting in 2007, legislators have acknowledged the expense and costs that will go along with the switch.
Because digital TV transmissions will never be received by analog TV antenna, the analog TVs will inevitably made obsolete.
The HDTV with its superior and digital broadcast compatible HDTV antenna will be too costly for households with average and below average income. Ending TV entertainment for this demographic will also be very unfair.
HDTV signal receivership
HDTV antenna is the external equipment or part of the HDTV that will set it apart from other and currently existing TV models and equipment.
For analysts and experts, HDTV antenna is the significant factor, or the key to the full-scale success and operation of digital HDTV broadcasts.
Get a full hold of the HDTV technology now. When you do, do not forget the HDTV eternal antenna that comes along with the HDTV unit. Experience the difference, now!

High Definition Television (HDTV)
High Definition Television or HDTV is the latest on TV technology. HDTV is better than most of the available TVs today in many ways; in sound, resolution and imaging. There are breakthrough technologies at work in a HDTV that made it more recommendable than the latest digital TVs.
HDTV is a digital television or DTV. Eighteen formats have been assigned to digital television, and presently, only six of the eighteen are considered HDTV. A true HDTV may have either 1080 interlaced lines or about 720 progressive scanned lines.
HDTV is not comparable to SDTV or Standard Definition Television. Though SDTV offers consumers a relevant improvement in picture resolution as compared to the usual digital TVs similar to a comparison of DVD to VHS viewing, it cannot compete with HDTV in the quality of both audio and video.
Favorite HDTV Features
Various technologies implemented on various HDTVs outclassed most of the technologies in digital TVs:
1. HDTV have about twice the picture resolution in terms of the vertical and horizontal as compared to any analog or digital TV available today. This makes the HDTV picture sharper and clearer than most of the TVs today.
2. HDTV have a wider screen with a screen or aspect ratio of about 16: 9 as compared to the 4:3 screen or aspect ratio of most analog or digital TVs.
An aspect ratio is the width of a picture screen relative to its height. So an aspect ratio of 4:3 means that the picture screen is 4 feet wide and 3 feet high. This means that the best picture screen available for HDTVs today is 16 feet wide and 9 feet high. This large screen will provide more detail resulting in a crisper image.
3. HDTV have also managed to reduce motion artifacts that includes ghosting or dot crawl on the screen.
4. HDTV also have a Dolby A3 Sorround System. It offers 5.1 independent channels of CD-quality stereo sorround sound. This is also referred as AC-3.
All in all, HDTVs displays pictures in a higher resolution with greater detail than most of the analog or digital TVs. Images are sharper and clearer and HDTVs offers the best digital sound available to the consumer.
The HDTV Converters
HDTV converters are used to directly convert digital signals from a satellite broadcast into HDTV format for viewing in most analog TVs instead of implementing an analog conversion that is inferior in terms of picture and image viewing.
Simply put, HDTV converters avoid analog conversions of digital signals resulting to a much improved picture on analog TVs. The picture and image on an analog TV that used a HDTV converter is similar to the picture and image from a DVD movie that is played in an analog TV.
SImilarly, HDTV shows from satellite broadcasts can be shown in an analog TV using the HDTV converter. The picture and image will be inferior but at least are much more tolerable.
The Best Set-Up for HDTV
The most ideal set-up for HDTV is by receiving a pure digital signal directly via cable either by DirecTV or by the Dish Network. These pure digital signals are received by a digital receiver and are displayed on a digital TV set.
Consumers that are looking for the best can opt for a front or rear projection HDTV set or also a plasma set with a similar 16:9 aspect ratio.
People who wants to test the HDTV technology but are not really sure of what they really want can opt for a HDTV-ready digital TV instead. HDTV-ready TVs are much more cheaper than the actual HDTVs.
These HDTV-ready digital TVs have the standard aspect ratios of 4:3. It lacks, however, the HDTV decoder that will interpret the HDTV signal. A stand alone HDTV decoder, however, is available if a consumer wants to be able to upgrade the display for HDTV broadcast.
The out of the box HDTV systems usually have a high definition tuner built inside it. Though, the addition of high definition tuner makes it more expensive, it nonetheless an advantage that is made for the convenience of the most enthusiastic viewer.

An FCC also mandates the switch and you are given an even wider viewing area. So you do not have to cramp up in front of the television set when you are watching it with your friends just to have a good view of the movie. The screen seems to be stretched so you can watch from afar, if ever you are cooking dinner, and watch your favorite movie at the same time. Now that is multitasking!

Common television sets are based on the aspect ratio of four is to three (4:3). This ratio means that the television can be measured with an approximation of its height of three feet, and a width of four feet.
However, the aspect ratio of an HDTV is, drumroll please, a whopping sixteen is to nine (16:9). This makes the image an HDTV gives out much much wider! In fact, the screen size of an HDTV is thirty three percent wider!
The width that is increased indicates a very huge improvement since it permits you to view the tv sitcoms and movies that you like, as if you were watching them in the cinema, just minus the loud snoring guy behind you and the couple that never seem to gasp for air in their kissing spree in front of you.
