Most television broadcasts are meant to be shown in the standard fullscreen 4:3 aspect ratio of your old 27-inch television. Couple this with an archive of old fullscreen VHS and DVD movies and you may be watching a great deal of video that was never properly formatted for the current assortment of widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio HDTV screens. Consumer electronics manufacturers deal with this in different ways. My preferred method of viewing 4:3 video is in its original shape, which results in black bars appearing on either side of the image making use of approximately two-thirds of the widescreen viewing area. A second option is to stretch the 4:3 image to fit the full 16:9 screen. If stretching the picture to fill the entire screen is your preferred method of viewing, make sure the screen stretches both vertically and horizontally. Some budget HDTV screens only do a horizontal stretch, which results in picture distortion. The downside to stretching the picture is that you generally lose some portion of the top and bottom of the original image in the process of reducing distortion. If you want television broadcasts to fill the 16:9 screen, make sure the picture stretching feature does a stretch of both horizontal and vertical.


With most of the users still using analog television sets there will soon be a demand for HDTV-ready sets. But the ones available in market today are a bit expensive and only come in big-sized screens. It is perceived that once the demand grows smaller sets will also be available at a cheaper price. With only 30 million of American homes having HDTV-ready sets of the several hundred million, the potential for HDTV sales is huge.

Manufacturers of HDTV-ready television sets are now including separate slots along with the tuner which can be used to insert cable cards provided by your cable operator. This will spare you from having a separate cable box for receiving HDTV programming. In case you want to shift to a new service provider you will just have to remove the old card and insert a new one. However, if you want to record cable programs with your DVD recorder or VCR, you may still need to have a separate cable box.

HDTV Cables

By Elizabeth Morgan

HDTV cable, also known as high definition television cable, is a specially designed high-end digital cable that hooks up an HDTV set top box and an HDTV television set. HDTV is the latest innovation in DTV signals and transmits pictures with a high resolution and clarity. The popularity of HDTV cable has made the HDTV, the latest trend in television technology.

The recognition of the HDTV television has led to a great demand in HDTV cables in the market. Currently, the market is flooded with different brands and types of HDTV cables. The Monster Cable, Cobalt Cable, and Blue Jeans Cable are some of the leading brands of HDTV cables.

Generally, all brands of the HDTV cables come with robust and highly flame-retardant outer mesh, which protects the cable from external damage and conductor. For maximum conductivity and bandwidth, most of the HDTV cables come with copper conductor, plated with sliver. To protect the signals from the interferences of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference), the HDTV cables are usually coated with high density quad-layer shielding. The quad-layer shielding is injected with nitrogen gas to maximize the conductivity and bandwidth of the HDTV cables.

Signals passed through the HDTV cable connections can be either analog or digital types. To meet this need, the HDTV cables come in two types; analog HDTV cables and digital HDTV cables. The analog HDTV cables are 75 ohm video coaxial cable, with RCA, BNCs or HD15 plugs at the end. The signal passed through this cable can either be ordinarily component video or RGB. Digital HDTV cables can be availed in three forms; SDI (serial digital interface), DVI (Digital Video Interface), and HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface). SDI cable is highly robust, 75 ohm video coax cables, but is not readily available to consumers. When compared with SDI cable, DVI and HDMI cables are poorly designed and can be availed from the market.

Whether it is analog HDTV cables or digital HDTV cables, it is always recommended to purchase the cables which are sweep-tested by the manufacturer. The sweep test will guarantee that the cable will not show any excessive or uneven attenuation within the required frequency range. Therefore, carefully selected HDTV cables will provide clear and high quality pictures on your HDTV televisions.

HD-ready TV...An integrated HDTV or HD-ready TV, as it is more commonly known, comes with an in-built tuner which saves you from spending extra cash on a receiver for HDTV. But if you are planning on a satellite or cable connection then such a tuner may be redundant as you will have to have the receiver that the satellite or cable company provides you. There is also the concern that HDTV being a new technology will go through significant changes and your built-in tuner may not support the upgrades. Things become that much more simpler with a separate receiver.

DCMA really is a bad idea, but lately, most of the changes to copyright law strike me as bad ideas. It's not like the new laws are protecting the rights of the creators--in fact they protect the property rights of the publishers and other large conglomerate rights holders. Effectively, these laws stifle information spread. There's got to be a way to protect the rights, and income, of creators, generate income for publishers, and still make information available.
