High-Definition Television (HDTV) is the most advanced form of digital television available today. Comcast HDTV provides pictures with several times the clarity of DVDs and more than five times the resolution of a regular television picture. HDTV is the largest leap in TV technology since color TV replaced black and white.
Get more of the HD programming you really want with Comcast HDTV. Unlike satellite providers, Comcast HDTV lets you watch local broadcast networks (like ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, The CW and PBS) in HD without an antenna.
You also get great HD networks like ESPN HD which offers more than 100 high-definition games a year and selected EPSN original programming. Plus, you have access to INHD, INHD2, and Discovery HD Theater networks that offer an exceptional variety of sports, movies, travel, and nature programming - all in high-definition.
All you need is an "HD-capable" or an "HD-ready" TV set and a Comcast HD box. There’s no need to buy a separate HD receiver or antenna. And with Comcast, there are no long-term contracts required. You'll just get great, easy-to-use, reliable service.
HDTV provides vivid color, including a wide range of hues (such as purples and reds) without any bleeding at the edges of the image.
Clarity/DetailHDTV images are as detailed as a high-resolution photograph. It is as if you are looking through a window. When watching a TV program in HD, you will be amazed at the sharpness of the picture. You can even pick up the different colors in an actor’s eyes, or see individual sweat drops on a football player. Details you could never see through regular television.
Wide-screenHDTV allows you to view content in a 16:9 wide-screen format, the same format used in movie theatres. Current TVs use a 4:3 image, which pictures off because it forces a wide image into a narrow space.
Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround SoundAll HDTV programming can provide 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound--just like true theatre sound.
