What kind of TV do I need for HDTV?

You will need to purchase a digital television capable of displaying a high-definition signal, which uses either the 1080i or 720p format (Most HDTV's will display these formats.)

What are some of the enhanced features I will notice with my HDTV?

With HDTV, you will notice higher picture sharpness, a wider picture, more colors, and digital quality sound. Ultimately, the picture will look more like the movies and add the feeling of realism to TV.

When will more HD channels be available?

The television network must provide their programming in HD in order for cable companies to offer it. Long Lines is currently working with several networds to add more HD channels to our package.
