Directv Receivers for HDTV programming

If you already own one of the Directv receivers, did you know it can also act as your HDTV receiver? That’s right, there’s no need to buy a special antenna or special satellite television dish. If you have HDTV, you enjoy the technology that provides static-free, crystal-clear picture and the CD-quality digital sound (or Dolby Digital surround sound) and you do it now, rather than wait a few years when the FCC will mandate all broadcasting be in high definition. With so many more pixels in each picture, the Directv receivers and the special HDTV programming channels combine to give you an image sharper than you can imagine.

The Directv receivers are already programmed and designed with the versatility and convenience that can pick up HDTV signals as well as conventional signals. This way you don’t have to give up anything, and you’ll be prepared once the channels you regularly watch begin to broadcast in high-definition (if they don’t already) by 2006.

It is important to remember that Direct TV HD is best viewed on a special, fully integrated high-definition television set or on HD monitors with separate HD receiver boxes. Once you decide to upgrade and purchase HD TVs and order the free Directv receivers for your home, the first thing you’ll notice is that you will be able to receive two formats of HDTV: 720p and 1080i.

The 720p format makes a picture with 720 vertical lines, each with 1280 pixels horizontally and provides the smoothest possible motion rendition. The 1080i format is the ultimate in high quality resolution and makes pictures each with 1080 vertical lines which each have 1920 pixels horizontally. With either format the viewer receives an experience that is far advanced of conventional analog television viewing. Eventually, everyone will need to buy HDTV equipment, such as Directv receivers, to watch satellite TV so why not start seeing things in high definition sooner than later?
