High-definition television (HDTV) offers a much better picture quality than standard television. HD means greater clarity , smoother motion, richer and more natural colors, surround sound, and the ability to allow a variety of input devices to work together. The colors look more realistic, due to their greater bandwidth. The visual information is about 2-5 times more detailed overall. Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound is broadcast along with standard HDTV video signals, allowing full surround sound capabilities.
The following HD channels are currently available with the HD Preferred package. This package includes all Digital Preferred channels, HD channels, digital music channels, interactive TV Guide and PPV access. One HD converter box with remote control is provided with service.
