What is HDTV?

HDTV delivers significantly higher picture resolution, richer colour and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.

The sharpest picture - TV images with an EastLink HDTV Digital Box have over five times the resolution of standard analogue television.  They have a vertical resolution of up to 1080 interlaced scan lines - far  higher than either analogue television or standard-definition digital television. The picture quality is incredibly clear, sharp and realistic.

The widest screen - HDTV images are wide-screen for the full cinematic experience. With proportions of 16:9 versus the conventional 4:3 proportions of regular TV, you can see movies the way they were meant to be seen - without the picture being cut off at the sides.

The incredible sound of Dolby Digital 5.1 - Delivers six separate channels of sound including the .1 subwoofer channel. If you hook it up to your home theatre system the sound is unlike anything you've heard outside of a movie theatre!
