DirecTV, Dish Network, and Comcast - Who Has The Best HDTV Services?
By Teddy Lc.
As U.S. living standards are climbing high and higher, the requirement on better TV entertainment follows. Without doubt TV picture quality is one of the most highly concerned issues. The statement is well proven as we are seeing that high definition television (HDTV) popped up the hottest home electronics appliances for the past two years.
Whats the difference of HDTV and normal TV?
The technical answer is greater TV picture resolution. HDTV pictures are showed with up to 1080 lines of detail; while normal TV takes about 480 in total. In general, we can expect that the HDTV picture quality is about 10 times clearer and more life-alike than the conventional TVs.
So how fast have the paid TV services catch up on such consumer trends in United States? Well, you probably already cleared that both satellite and cable TV had stepped into the high definition world and offering various TV programming in HD quality. The money question is...
Who has the best HDTV service?
With the much trumpeted DirecTV HD system, rumors said that DirecTV can support up to 150 HD channels on each customers. This, however, has yet to be proven as the number of DirecTV HD channels released is quite limited.
Comcast, on the other hand, covers pretty much HD channels with their cable TV service. For instant, their HD channels include major networks ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, ESPN HD, HBO HD, Showtime HD, Cinemax HD, Discovery HD, TNT HD, as well as tons of on demand HD movies.
So, how about Dish Network?
Although Dish Network came late in the paid TV business, they so far have the most HD channels offered nation wide in the past. Whats even better is that on July 11, Dish Network just launched another eight Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) with high definition (HD) and planned to launch seven new national HD channels in August and September. The HD RSN channels include Fox Sports Network Arizona (Ch. 365), Fox Sports Network Northwest (Ch. 376), Fox Sports Network Cincinnati (Ch. 377), Fox Sports Network Pittsburgh (Ch. 378), Fox Sports Network Detroit (Ch. 380), SportsTime Ohio (Ch. 381), Fox Sports Network North (Ch. 386), and SportsNet New York (DISH Network Ch. 388).
Wrapping things up
With this, I believe that Dish has the best at current time. This, of course, is subject to their rivals who are always eager to gain back their position in the business.
