The older style of television displays the picture using the analog format. The newer HDTV systems display and receive their programming in digital format. If you are currently or looking to become a satellite customer, with an older style TV, you may really find this part interesting. Satellite television is broadcast digitally. If you are receiving these broadcasts and using an older television, all of the digital images are changed


into the analog format when they are passed through your television. This decreases the quality that is shown on your screen. I would highly recommend looking into an HDTV set to make use of the satellite television programming you are receiving.
Another reason to update your old television with an HDTV set is that DVD's have the digital format as well. If you are watching DVD's on an older television, once again the signal is being converted from digital to analog, and therefore is decreasing the picture quality displayed on your screen.
Right now there is a real push to convert everything to digital. I would definitely recommend that you look into getting a new HDTV set in order to receive all the sharpest image, as well as crystal clear sound.
