DTV's come in three levels of performance SD for standard definition, ED for enhanced definition, and HD for high definition. All the DTV's on the market today can receive all DTV signals, and the TV adjusts the signal to match the performance level of the display. In other words, a HD signal can be received, and converted to a lower performance signal to display on a lower performance display, such as an EDTV explained below. The following is the accepted industry names for the three levels of DTV's: TVs that receive all DTV broadcasts and display 480 interlaced lines of resolution presented in 4:3 aspect ratio (today's square-shaped analog TVs). This is the same resolution (picture detail) as today's analog TV systems. TVs that receive all DTV broadcasts and display less than 720 lines (for example, 480p) are called EDTVs - "enhanced definition." The television's screen shape may be widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3), but the image displayed is widescreen. This is the same resolution as today's DVDs. TV's that receive all DTV broadcasts, and display 720 or more progressive lines (or rows of pixels measured vertically) are called "high definition." This includes 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. The television's screen shape may be widescreen or standard (4:3), but the image displayed is widescreen (16:9). HDTV is the fastest-growing segment in the market, and delivers the best performance - matching the quality of most broadcaster's signals. Why Get HDTV? > HD Programming Today, there are dozens of high definition programs transmitted in American homes around the clock. HD Programming is available via cable, satellite, and over-the-air broadcast. Programming can vary by station and delivery type - for example, satellite currently does not deliver TNT HD, while some cable systems do. Broadcast networks provide a large portion of their primetime programs in high definition. They also provide some major sports including weekly football, regional baseball, as well as the playoffs and World Series, basketball and NASCAR. Many specials and major awards shows are now also available in HDTV. Satellite companies are continually expanding their HD offerings to movies on HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, The Movie Channel, Starz, HD Net Movies and Encore. Additionally, they offer networks that provide a variety of content such as HD NET and ESPN HD. Arts and music are the mainstay of Bravo HD. Animation, extreme sports, travel logs and music videos channels are also now available full-time in HD via satellite. In some markets, ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX HD network programming is provided. The Cable systems have stepped up to the plate as well. In addition to local channels, many offer premium HD movie channels and regional sports. Cable also offers its own exclusive network called In HD and In HD 2, providing movies, music and varied programming.     Dear eBay Members As we all know eBay is all about the feedback, therefore we strive to provide you with 100% satisfaction, if for any reason you are not satisfied with our product please contact us immediately, so that we could deal with it immediately.
