What is the difference between Digital TV Service and High-Definition Television (HDTV)?
Digital TV is a type of television signal. HDTV stands for high-definition television with the emphasis on high-definition. HDTV is the highest quality in digital signals, offering better resolution and sound than a standard digital signal. Digital TV can be watched on your existing standard television if you have one of our digital set-top boxes. Digital TV can also be watched in high-definition if you have a HDTV television and you have a HD-compatible digital set-top box. In analog TV, a 6 MHz signal produces something like 500 horizontal pixels (dots), these pixels comprise the picture you see on your screen. HDTV can have a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels, or greater than 2 million pixels. That’s more than six times the detail of regular television.
