DIRECTV HD (High Definition) TV - HD Satellite TV Network


The higher number of High Definition (HD) channels differentiates DIRECTV from its DISH and Cable Network competitors. The HD Satellite TV Network has recongnized this difference from day one and has endorsed DIRECTV as a result.

DIRECTV plans to offer access to local channels in HD in more than 88% of U.S. homes.

Access to DIRECTV High-Definition gives you the best sports, movies, family and special events with your paid subscription.

If you want the best TV experience possible, you will get it on DIRECTV!

DIRECTV HD colors are brighter, the sound is crisper, and both audio and video can be recorded!

High definition (mpeg-2, mpeg-4) and standard definition (mpeg-2) enabled in your DIRECTV DVR receiver allows you to view the best in both HD and SD programming.

While DIRECTV digital programming provides advanced image quality and sound, HD (the highest form of digital technology) makes for an even greater picture and sound.

Imagine viewing your HD programs with up to 10 times the amount of pixels seen on ordinary TV - you'll believe you're a part of the action when you view it on a DIRECTV HDTV DVR receiver.

A DIRECTV HDTV DVR can pause and rewind live HD TV for up to 90 minutes. Control what you watch - back up, slow down or use instant replay.

DIRECTV uses the latest HD technology giving you the ultimate viewing experience. HD programs have up to 10 times the amount of pixels seen on ordinary TV bringing life-like pictures into your own home.

The build-in DIRECTV HD tuner that your HDTV is equipped with will only allow you to receive the HD programming available over the air via an off-air antenna.
