What is HD-TV?
High Definition is a digital broadcast signal with more lines of resolution than analog Standard Definition (1080i compared to 480i). HD-TV is also broadcast in a different aspect ratio, giving you a wider image (16:9 compared to 4:3). HD-TV also sounds different, with audio in either Dolby Digital stereo or Dolby Digital 5.1.
