What is H.D T.V ( High Definition Television)? HD gives very clear, crisp pictures with vivid colours and much more detail than ordinary standard-definition Tv. Some programmes are made with cinema-style "surround sound". HD broadcasts are particularly suited to the larger flat Tv screens (LCD and plasma). How can I get HD TV? To watch HD programmes, you need an HD-ready Tv set and a set-top box which is designed for HD.  You also need a satellite dish or cable connection. Tv set: when buying a set, make sure it is
marked "HD ready". HD set-top box: from a satellite or cable company or your retailer.
To receive the BBC's free-to-air HD programmes via satellite, you make a one-off payment for the equipment. For Sky or Virgin Media HD services, you pay a subscription.
Programmes have to be specially made in HD, and then broadcast in HD too. A HD-ready Tv set won't turn a standard-definition programme into an HD one, and it won't display HD programming without a set-top box.
