By Miles Stoppard

The common standard used in defining the quality of the image is measured in scan lines. Simply put, the higher the value, the more vivid the images. There are 525 lines for every picture with Analog TVs while high definition televisions or HDTVs have 1080 lines. This is more than two times the amount in Analog Television sets, providing twice the clarity level.

The format used in high definition televisions are 16:9, similar to those usually used in cinemas. It is significantly wider than previous formats, allowing for more action to be shown as well as allowing the viewer to be more absorbed into what they are watching.

With high definition TV sets, the sound has also improved dramatically. It uses Dolby Digital Surround Sound stereo, providing more crisp sounds, capturing and disseminating even the smallest details, giving a more realistic listening experience.

Satellite HD TVs obtain their broadcasting signals from satellites wandering above the skies. The satellites move in the identical speed as the Earth, making them appear as if they are not moving in relation to the ground, which proves to be vital most particularly concerning receiving and sending signals. These signals are received from the various TV networks and stations located on the Earth which is beamed towards the satellites, which in turn are encoded and beamed to the millions of television sets located all over the world.
