HDTV satellite service means to have the highest quality programming
available, delivered right to your home's TV set. To ensure that you
reach the ultimate goal of HDTV satellite - the best possible picture and
sound, you'll need a high quality HDTV satellite receiver. Obviously, you'll
also need an HD TV set.
Quality equipment and a reputable service provider are vital. You don't
need to be a satellite related expert, but the more you understand the
better your decisions. Besides figuring out whether your TV already has
an HDTV receiver or if your cable or satellite company can provide you
with one, if you are thinking on buying an HDTV receiver, you should
know about the many features available.
HDTV satellite means high definition television broadcast. In other
words, your television set receives a digital signal instead of the analog
signal. To understand how digital and analog signals differ, consider the
difference between vinyl LP records and compact discs. A CD uses
digital technology and the resulting sound remains exactly the same as
the original, unless the data becomes corrupted. HDTV satellite is similar,
allowing a clearer picture and better sound quality.
HDTV satellite receivers are becoming a hot item and there are several
websites with reviews of the most recently released products. With
dozens of online sources for information about HDTV satellite receivers,
systems and services, you'll find a lot of professional opinions about
which are the best. You'll also find local retailers who are well versed
in the technology and can offer advice.
Basically, an HDTV satellite receiver is essentially a device that receives
and decodes high definition TV signals. HDTV satellite receivers are
needed along with a High Definition Ready TV set to view high definition
programming. Sometimes an HDTV receiver is also referred to as an
HDTV tuner or HDTV decoder.
One of the first questions you should ask yourself before purchasing an
HDTV satellite receiver is whether your HDTV already has a built in
receiver. Usually your TV will state that it has a built in receiver or tuner.
If your HDTV does not have a receiver built in, it will state that it is HD
Ready.
Another question you should ask is whether you plan on watching high
definition TV being directly broadcasted from the TV station or will you
be acquiring the HDTV signal from your cable TV or satellite TV provider.
Most of the time, many cable and satellite TV providers can provide you
with a set top box that also includes an HDTV receiver. Most cable or
satellite TV companies allow you to rent these set top boxes for only a
few dollars per month. In addition, you should know that many DVR's
such as TiVo, include an HDTV receiver with many of their devices. This
way you don't need to go out and purchase a receiver to record, watch
or store your high definition programs.
Another great feature that you should look for is the ability to hook up
components to your HDTV receiver. Look for receivers that have
outputs for HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) capability,
S-Video and digital audio. This way you don't have to buy additional
wires or cables to hook up state of the art audio, and multimedia
components.
If you're not an expert in satellite technology or satellite TV broadcast,
you'll have to rely on your satellite TV supplier. The two major supplier
for satellite TV services are DirecTV and Dish Network. Each one of
these companies offers an impressive line of high quality satellite hdtv
receivers to choose from. Once you choose your satellite TV supplier,
your new HDTV satellite receiver will probably be part of your
purchased package, though sometimes you'll be given the choice to
pick a receiver that fits your specific requirements.
Don't panic, these components are not very expensive. Moreover, as
part of your package, they usually come free. Your task though is to
pick the best receiver that your package can include.
