At last Sky viewers
in France and all over Europe are able to access
true High Definition television that gives you up to
5 times the picture sharpness & quality of normal
television. You will experience lifelike images so
real it's like your television is a crystal clear
window on the world. Viewers in Japan & America have
enjoyed HDTV so much over the past few years that
when they switch over to normal TV they switch their
television off due to the amazing quality that High
Definition brings you. This is a television
revolution that will be bigger then the transition
from black & white to color possibly even the
creation of TV itself.
To get the full
benefit of this technology your TV screen must be a
digital one, having a resolution of minimum 1920 x
1080 pixels and accepting digital video flux via a
HDMI port.
Now you will be able to watch
movies and sports in 1080 horizontal lines instead
of the standard PAL 625 lines of resolution. From
mid 2006 some Sky Movie channels and all Sky Sports
channels will broadcast in HD. Other channels on the
Sky list which will switch to HD are: Sky One,
Artsworld and two Sky Movies screens. HD movie
titles available at launch include Spider Man 2, The
Day After Tomorrow and House of Flying Daggers. In
addition to Premiership football there will also be
live rugby from The Guinness Premiership. The Sky HD
decoder is a Sky+ style box with a larger hard disk
built in ( 160 Gb) and is made by Thomson, the
French company which makes some of the existing Sky+
boxes. The recording function requires two cables
run from the dish and a TWIN LNB/feed. ( can work on
a single coax as well as a normal single tuner
Digibox. Existing dishes can be re-used for HD. Our
team of experienced engineers will connect it for
you, programm and tune it for safe and trouble-free
operation.
