Whats the difference between the old analog televisions, standard-definition (SD) digital that has been around for a few years and the new HD experience?
The analog set has a squarish portrait image. If you’re watching wide-screen, there are bands of black at the top and bottom. SD has a wider, landscape image without black bands. HD is five times the quality of SD. 3. I keep seeing advertisements for the new HD channels. What are the free-to-air commercial channels doing? Seven and Ten networks have launched high-definition channels, 7HD and Ten-HD respectively, each with more than 50 hours of unique (different from the normal channels) weekly programming. Nine expects to have its HD channel up and running by March with less unique content. 4. How can I see them? The new channels are available for free if you have either an HD-capable integrated digital TV or an HD-capable set-top-box, available for about $200. Prices for an HD LCD screen (incorporating an HD digital tuner) start about $1200; an integrated HD plasma screen about $1800. 5. What will we see on the new HD channels? Seven has commissioned two new shows specifically for 7HD
