Satellite Television Providers and Pixel Resolution

By Scott Apfel


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.

Satellite TV is available nationwide even in the most remote regions and also includes your local channels. You get better rebates and greater savings than your regular cable company. Choose a better TV experience in which you get more programs at a cheaper rate. Put simply, satellite is the best deal out there.

High-Definition direct satellite TV is offered nationwide and provides up to 130 channel in high definition for a pleasurable viewing experience. High definition has clearest picture possible because of the increased pixel count which is twice that of a regular picture.

Your TV, whether it is a plasma, LCD or DLP device, needs to have the capability to display those extra pixels. The standard nomenclature uses what is called a 1080i interlaced or a 1080p progressive format. "I" stands for interlaced, "p" stands for progressive.

High-definition normally employs a 16:9 wide screen aspect ratio. 1080i gives the picture more detail while 1080 represents the number of horizontal lines.

Progressive scanning means that each video frame is transmitted as a whole in a single sweep and it produces a smoother, more film-like look. Whereas with 1080i, you do see all 1080 lines at once and is much sharper 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.
