By Jeff Alison


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.

Ask yourself, where is the best deal? The largest network direct satellite TV broadcasters have the lowest cost per unit overhead and therefore can deliver the best deal possible. Those giant broadcasters for the best deals for the last few years has been satellite TV.

Cable television will cost more because of the extra costs resulting from stringing up wires to every customer. The infrastructure and cost of maintaining service and repair services is extremely high. If a freak storm hits, it is not unusual for service to be out for long periods of time.

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.

HD uses a 16:9 wide screen ratio. 1080 refers to the number of the horizontal lines; 1080i gives a more detailed transmission.

A film-like, smooth appearance is the result of ''progressive scanning'' whereby each video frame is broadcasted as a whole in a single motion. With 1080i, all 1080 horizontal lines are shown at once and is sharper when the picture transmitted is still.

Satellite TV packages gives the consumer a free High Definition video recorder -- a great feature which allows you to capture your favorite shows to watch after you get home. The capacity of the DVR is 200 hours of the standard recording and 50 hours of the high definition recording. Also, you will be pleased with the superb theatre-like Dolby Digital sound.
