Misconceptions About HDTV
Digital Cable is the Same As DTV False.
Digital Cable is in fact digital, meaning
it is transmitted as ones and zeros, but that does not make it DTV or HDTV. It is true that you can
get DTV from a Digital Cable subscription, but just because you are getting Digital Cable does not mean
you can get DTV and/or HDTV signals.
DTV is the Same As HDTV False.
Digital Television, DTV, is a set of 18 different formats for broadcasting televison in a digital format put out
by the ATSC.
High Defintion Television, HDTV, is six of those 18 DTV formats that has a resolution of at least 720p
and has an aspect ratio of 16x9.
All Television Will Be HDTV in 2006 False.
The FCC has mandated that by May 2006 that
all broadcasters broadcast DTV signals. This pertains to Over The Air transmissions and does not mean
anything about DTV through Cable or Satellite companies. HDTV takes up a lot of bandwidth and it is up
to the Cable and Satellite companies to move from sending you regular Analog to true DTV signals. This also
means that broadcasters can send DTV signals that are of lower resolution then that of true HDTV. FOX, for instance,
is currently broadcasting 480p in many areas and this meets the FCCs regulations.
