 How can I get HD TV?

To watch HD programmes, you need an HD-ready TV set and a set-top box (see below) which is designed for HD. You also need a satellite dish pointing to 28 degs East.

  • TV set: when buying a set, make sure it is marked "HD ready".
  • HD set-top box:  To receive the BBC's & ITV free-to-air HD programmes via satellite, you make a one-off payment for the equipment. 
  • Surround sound: to experience this (for the programmes that are broadcast with it), you need a home cinema surround sound speaker system connected to your TV system.

Programmes have to be specially made in HD, and then broadcast in HD too. An HD-ready TV set won't turn a standard-definition programme into an HD one, and it won't display HD.

   Freeview is not likely to receive any HD TV channels in the South East of England until 2012, so if you have a HD TV & Freeview, you have a long wait to maximise the use from your HD TV so this may be of some interest to you!
