HD TV – Sky HD

If you like to watch television - and we mean really watch it, you’ve probably already got Sky High Definition (HD) TV. There’s nothing else like it; Sky HD TV is changing the way we watch television. Viewing becomes more focussed, excitement more acute and the overall experience more memorable.

We’re all used to standard PAL TV transmission, operating on 576 lines. HD TV gives us one of two formats: 720 lines, utilising progressive scan (in which all of the vertical lines of pixels are scanned in one smooth action) - and 1080 lines, utilising interlacing scan (in which the screen is scanned in two phases).

In visual terms, programmes broadcast in 1080i are four times more detailed than anything broadcast through conventional analogue channels. Four times! Whatever you watch, that’s going to have an immediate impact on how you watch it:
