I have an HD TV and you still have to have the box to receive the HD signal which will cost you than you pay a monthly fee for the service or your TV will just have a regular picture !! The picture quality is excellent but at a cost !! So don't think just because you have an HD TV you will just plug it in and you have it !! Not all stations are in HD but more and more are going that way so it's up to you what you want but be ready to pay for it!! Your TV will not change the picture you have now will be the picture you will have than. They can't make it compulsory as I've said you'll have to pay for it!! I hope this answers your question!! LOL

HD stands for "severe definition" and is a image, many times added digitally, that has a determination of 720P or 1080i. Now they are calling 1080P "honestly HD". the key's that "HD" has a lots clearer image than older formats. as an social amassing, a appropriate-extensive-unfold DVD participant grants 480i or 480P on an same time as an "HD" participant can furnish 1080P The numbers signify what volume lines are being "painted" interior the technique your exhibit to create the image. So, 1080 lines will make a clearer and sharper image than 480 lines in common terms like an ink jet printer. The letters permit you comprehend inspite of if the image is being "painted" without notice (P = ingenious try) or inspite of if or now no longer they are being painted even lines then unusual lines besides the actuality that (I = Interlace). ingenious (P) is greater advantageous effective than Interlace (I). HD radio is a radio sign that's added digitally rather of analog.

It took the British Government 10 years from the date of the first digital terrestrial broadcast, to actually even start to switch off the analogue broadcast. This will still take another 4 years to complete.
Eventually, the standard definition signal will be switched off and everything will be broadcast in HD. But not for many, many years yet...

No hd will only give you a better picture if you subscribe to a service like sky HD or use an HD DVD player or a HD games machine.

In Australia we will be switching to all digital in a few years (I forget the date) and there will be no analogue. But SD digital is the minimum, not HD.

nope HDTV is not compulsory your old TV with digital will be fine
its a lot of money at present to go hd but if your TV is going kaput then it would be sensible to "future proof" yourself

In 2009 the US is switching to a digital service instead of analog. You will need a HDTV with a digital tuner built in or you will need to purchase a digital tuner to get any of the network channels. I believe this is happening in Feb., but if you go to your local Wal-Mart or Target and look under their analog TV's it is required for them to state the date under them.
