Direct Satellite Television Pixels

By Simon Hardwick


When you're surveying the landscape, looking for the best deal for your television reception, more than likely you'll stumble through cable broadcasters and direct satellite TV offers. Usually what happens is that subscribers get their rates increased and the comparable hunt begins. And, you may have pixel resolution questions.

So where can you get the best, secure deal? The most powerful networks are satellite TV providers. They have the most competitive cost per unit and can easily give you the best deal. Satellite broadcaster over the last several years have and continues to beat cable.

Cable television will cost more because of the extra costs resulting from stringing up wires to every customer. The infrastructure and cost of maintaining service and repair services is extremely high. If a freak storm hits, it is not unusual for service to be out for long periods of time.

For the better rebates and greater savings compared to your cable bill, direct satellite TV is available nationwide and local channels are included. You can choose better TV in that you get it cheaper and you get more programs that are broadcast into your home. In a nutshell, you get the best television experience every day.

The high-definition from satellite TV can be accessed nationwide, and over 130 channels in HD can be at your fingertips. High definition has the best clarity due to the increased number of pixels which is twice that of the analog system.

Your television set, be it LCD, DLP or plasma, must have the capacity to broadcast those extra pixels. It requires a 1080i interlaced format or a 1080p progressive format. "I'' stands for interlaced and ''p'' is for progressive.

HD usually assumes a 16:9 wide screen aspect ratio. 1080 denotes the number of horizontal scan lines. 1080i is capable of giving more picture detail.

Progressive scanning refers to each video frame which is transmitted in a single sweep and creates a film-like, smooth appearance. On the other hand, the 1080i shows all 1080 lines at one time and is sharp when the image is still.

Satellite deals often offers a special deal to its consumers -- a free High Definition video recorder which allows you to record your favorite shows if you have to go out for the evening. The DVR's capacity is 200 hours of standard definition recording and 50 hours of HD recording. In addition, you are treated to spectacular theatre-like Dolby Digital sound.
