As fully authorised SKY agents, ASTEC can sign you up for the SKY viewing package of your choice AND install your HDTV system for you
High Definition TeleVision (HDTV) is possibly the greatest thing to have happened to TV since the advent of colour.
Not only do you get much better pictures, you also get far better sound quality. All HDTV programmes will offer superior CD-quality sound, and HDTV sets with 5.1 Dolby digital surround-sound will be able to take full advantage of this, thus offering the audience a true home-cinema experience. Other key features are that the Video is fed digitally from the receiver box to screen and you will no longer get “flaring” on fast moving action.
High Definition TeleVision (HDTV) was originally broadcast in the US, Australia, Japan, Canada and is rapidly being extended to other countries across the world. Thanks to SKY-HD, bbc-HD & itv-HD, UK consumers can now experience this improved picture clarity and 5.1 surround sound, just like at the movies.
Televisions in Europe today display 576-625 lines, but HD video increases this line count and so improves the picture quality. to either 720 or 1080 (depending which standard is selected by the broadcaster).
Many people will be aware that Sky began broadcasting in HD back in 2006. Sky's high definition service uses two new formats. The first 1080i increases the number of rows in the picture to 1080 - over 500 more than a standard PAL picture and is interlaced. The other, the 720p, has 720 rows but this time they are progressively scanned. This means that every row of pixels is shown in every frame. Sky's HD box supports both of these formats.
Sky+HD content is obtained via subscription while the BBC and ITV provide their HD output via freesat in the UK. The BBC has plans to produce all of its content in HD by 2010. In fact in 20 years from now all of Europe will broadcast television only in High Definition. Market research suggests that more than 4.5 million households in Europe have switched over to HDTV.
SKY+HD enables audiences with properly installed HDTV to enjoy this exciting new experience to the full.

HD Gaming
HDTV is good news for all gamers, as the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox are geared up to HD quality gaming content. Higher capacity Blu-ray storage discs, have become the standard in games consoles, which will allow game manufacturers more capacity to create visually-rich, detailed graphics. The games industry stated that every major game is going to be playable in HD, so consumers who have bought HDTV sets, can appreciate the high-detail graphics of console games.

High Definition TeleVision (HDTV) is possibly the greatest thing to have happened to TV since the advent of colour.
Many people are asking: "Why is HDTV such a powerful and important development?"
The answer is: "HDTV is not like any TV you are likely to have experienced before. It generates the most life-like images you will have ever seen on the small screen, with colour and clarity that is totally superior in every way".
