Do these new digital over-the-air signals deliver TV in high definition (HDTV)?
Many of them do. Many popular TV stations already are transmitting HDTV signals using their new digital broadcasting capability. But keep in mind that you can see the crystal-clear HDTV versions of TV stations only if you have a TV set or monitor that’s built specially to render HDTV pictures. (You may be familiar with the terms “plasma” and “LCD.” Both are types of HDTV sets.) If you have a digital TV that’s not HDTV-capable, you’ll be able to see any digital TV stations already on the air with improved clarity, and there will be more after Feb. 17, 2009. But you won’t see the ultra-sharp pictures contained in their HDTV broadcasts.
