High Definition Television or HDTV

five times better than regular TV. |

HOW TO GET HDTV?

To get HDTV you will need an HD-Ready
television to receive HD programming via a satellite or cable company, using one of their
special HD set-top-boxes, or an HD set with a built-in tuner and antennae to receive HD
over-the-air broadcasts (where
available). |
