High-Definition Television or HDTV is a digital television format delivering theater-quality pictures and CD-quality sound. HDTV offers an increase in picture quality by providing up to 1,920 active horizontal pixels by 1,080 active scanning lines, representing an image resolution of more than two million pixels.

In addition to providing improved picture quality with more visible detail, hi-def offers a widescreen format and Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound. Deployment has been on an upward arc ever since 2002.

Please be sure that any new television that you purchase is HDTV-ready. You can receive HDTV signals from your local broadcasters with an HDTV antenna until JetBroadband HDTV packages are available in your area.
