SKY HD

 
WHAT IS HD?
High definition TV will be the biggest revolution in TV picture quality so far this century. Sky HD is soon to launch and will offer a TV experience so good you can feel it.
It delivers sharper, more vibrant pictures, enabling viewers to become immersed in the programme - as if they're part of the action or seeing nature in its true colour.
Sky is a UK leader in HD broadcasting, bringing viewers great TV entertainment and setting the standard for the HD category.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HD?
SUPERB PICTURE QUALITY HD delivers four times more picture detail compared to a standard definition (PAL) broadcast - giving deeper detail, greater clarity and more vibrant colours.
SHARPER PICTURE Broadcasters can choose the best format for their programmes - 720p or 1080i - and Sky's HD box will make sure the customer's TV receives the correct format.
ENHANCED SOUND With the launch of Sky HD, many HD programmes will boast Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound - giving superb sound quality to anybody who has or it considering a compatible Home Theatre system.
SKY+ FUNCTIONALITY Record favourite programmes or a whole series. Pause and rewind live TV. Sky+ will even record two programmes whilst you watch one you recorded earlier.
