The answer to your question depends on where you live in the world!
Please ask this question again and be sure to say where you want to receive digital television: say in which country as well as in which city, town or village.
For most people, their old antenna will work just fine. Don't let the people at the electronics store fool you, there is no such thing as an "HD antenna." There is nothing special that needs to be done to an antenna to receive HD signals. In fact, many of the antennas that are being marketed as "HD antennas" are inferior UHF-only antennas that receive a smaller set of signals than your old antenna. However, some people who were barely receiving an analog signal may need to buy a better antenna. Also, if the location of the digital transmitter has changed or the signal strength of the TV station has changed, you may need to re-aim or replace your old antenna. Simply plug the old antenna into the converter box and then plug the converter box into your old TV where the antenna used to go and you will be fine. The converter box will tune in a digital station (some digital stations are HD, some are not) and convert the digital signal into an old-fashioned analog standard definition signal and feed it into your old analog TV. You will not be able to watch shows in HD on your old analog TV, but you will be able to watch a version of the HD broadcast that has been converted into Standard Definition (SD) for you. You will be able to watch all of the digital stations including the HD ones but you will see them in Standard Definition. Standard Definition is 480i. Digital to Analog converter boxes receive all tv transmissions of 1080P , 1080i , 720P , 480P , 480i and coverts them ALL to 480i to watch on a standard definition NTSC Analog TV.
You may be able to find the full movie of "The Blair Witch Project" in HD at Walmart or Kmart. You may also be able to find it on the On Demand channel for cable.
Freeview is a Television service in Europe and can be received with a set top box or a TV receiver so the way your question is worded, the answer is no. Just because the TV is digital does not mean it is freeview.
You can connect your DISH receiver to your Bravia TV using one of 4 methods: Coax cable connected to your coax port (non HD receiver) RCA (composite cable) - yellow, white, and red tips Component cable/ audio cable - Green, blue, red, white, and red (white and red for audio), HD receiver or HDMI cable (HD receiver). The component and HDMI give the highest video and audio quality. To receive HD programming, you need an HD receiver and HD programming package.
You currently can't. However, Sony have announced that they'll be releasing Playtv by the end of 2008. This will enable you to record digital channels, and hopefully High Definition ones as well.
An HD satellite dish allows a customer to receive HD programming in their home via the dish attached to the top of their house. In order for this to be done, correct installation is needed or the dish might not be aimed at the correct satellite.
To make a HD tv transmit in HD you can do one of two things. First you can connect a blu-ray player or game console via HDMI. Otherwise you can connect a PC to it via a monitor jack.
Freeview HD is available all over the UK. It is available to anyone who has purchased the necessary receiver. All households in the UK are able to receive standard Freeview.
The dish box needs to be a HD box to receive the HD stations in HD.
Because Freesat is done through satellite, any location in the UK should be able to receive it. All that is required is a satellite dish and an HD digital box.
no
No, only HDMI can transfer DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby True HD.
It may be a HD TV with Standard Freeview built in. Standard Freeview does not automatically contain any of the HD channels as it is not a HD service. However, you would get HD channels such as BBC HD and ITV HD if your TV had Freeview HD built in. So, my recommendation would be to buy a Freeview HD box. Remember to check on the Freeview HD website to find out when the service is rolling out in your area, as the service is actually brand new. My postcode doesn't receive this signal until June 2011, so be careful. The service at the moment is very limited.
No, you don not need one. You'll be able to record, but not playback in HD.
VCRs do not support HDTV. You will not be able to record HD. You will be able to record a converted HD signal but will lose the quality.
At my house in Texas, on DirecTV, ONE does the trick. I have HD channels.
The HD Ready TV will need a OUTBOARD TUNER such as a DirecTV box or a Cable TV box to act as the missing tuner. A full HDTV already has a High Def. tuner installed or built in.Also:'Hd ready' only is up to 720p but 'full Hd' goes up to 1080p. there is a hitch though; if you have a plasma (they've been trying but cant do it) it can get full Hd because the resolution on the screen cant take it, only a bit higher. But on other TV's its fine. You will still have the high def tuner installed.Don't get into the salesman he just wants you to buy it!(FYN; in the east Midlands we will only receive Hd from the aerial next April)
