HDTV

High-definition television (HDTV) is a digital television broadcasting system with greater resolution than traditional television systems (NTSC, SECAM, PAL). HDTV is digitally broadcast because digital television (DTV) requires less bandwidth if sufficient video compression is used.

If you currently have an analog TV, you will need to purchase a high definition digital receiver in the very near future in order to continue to be able to receive a signal and watch TV.
