What is 1080p and "Full HD?"
What is 1080p and "Full HD?"
The
TV ads now mention 1080p but what does this mean? 1080 is the name
for video that gives you 1,080 horizontal scan lines as compared to
older, standard definition TVs with only 480 scan lines. Today's
broadcasters present programs with 1080i (interlaced) lines or 720p
(progressive) lines. When lines are painted across the screen
continuously (p for progressive) a purer picture can be obtained than
interlaced lines. 1080p can be referred to as Full HD. Today's HD
broadcasts are transmitted 1080i or 720p depending on the broadcaster. Both look great on our new HD TVs.
But
how do you see the ultimate great picture? Blu-ray DVD is the best way
offering full 1080p images. DirecTV HD Digital Video Recorders can now
also produce 1080p with their new "Video On Demand" service. Some
video gaming system can also provide 1080p for astounding clarity. We
can recommend the ideal equipment for HD reception. For more

The Digital TV transition
 We have many clients with cable TV systems. One of the benefits of cable has been the ability to connect TVs to the basic cable without a cable box. This allowed reception of the analog channels. While one may have a cable box in the Family Room, the Kitchen TV may be on analog cable only with a box. Some cable companies are considering dropping those analog channels so a cable box would be required. The FCC recommends: If you receive cable television
service, contact your cable provider about any
additional components, such as a digital set-top box, that you
may need to watch digital broadcast programming. If all of your TVs are on satellite, you are ready. Let us know if you have any questions regarding the transition for your home's TVs. Call us at 818 898 7705.
