When buying a HDTV set, a factor that can sometimes be forgotten, especially if you are new to HDTV technology, is that of the signal. HDTV signals need to be dedicated. I.e. normal channels are not HDTV.

You can tell this, especially if you have satellite. When you go to those HDTV channels, you just see a blank screen, and perhaps a message.

This makes an interesting point. A lot of the channels are not HDTV, but more and more are being migrated to have both versions. This is especially so on film and movie channels on satellite and cable.

It is important to know what channels do come with HDTV. After all, a lot of providers charge extra for HDTV viewing. This may change in the future, but for now it is extra. :(

Though one benefit with the HDTV is that you can buy into HD TV and still be able to view all the other channels, whether they are designed for high definition or not. And what’s more, you also get access to better quality, because the HDTV’s themselves have superior technology than conventional TV’s.
