A lot of people use that term in articles and at the consumer electronics stores and assume that everyuone knows exactly what they are talking about. But plenty of us are not tech-heads that know all the latest jargon in the electronics world, so let’s go over just what HDTV is and what it means for you.
First of all HDTV stands simply for High Definition Television. It is a broadcasting standard for sending television signals in digital format instead of the old analog way. Back in days past, the television signal that originated at the tv station was sent in analog format that ciould only handle so much data for both picture and sound and once that limit was reached, it didn’t matter how great the television set was that was receiving the signal, it would only look and sound so great.
However, with the advent of the digital age, electronics technology has improved to the extent that we can do much better than analog television signals now, and instead we can record the signal digitally, braodcast it not only by antenna but by cable and satellite and display it on greatly superior television screens.
