Ok, you buy yourself a Hitachi Plasma 42 inch HDTV and you connect it to an HD receiver from your cable or satellite company. All your cables are set up right, you even bought the top of the line cables. You sit back, grab the remote, turn it on and your 42 inch Hitachi HDTV comes to life. BUT, for the life of you, you can’t tell the difference between this picture and the one you were getting on your old color TV. What the heck is going on?!?

Not all channels or programs are created equal. In order to get this great High Definition your were promised the channel you are watching AND the program you are watching need to be in HD. Programs like I Love Lucy and All in the Family are not going to be HD. Most of the new programs in prime time are HD. All channels are converted or in the process of converting over to HD so finding a channel in HD is getting easier every day. Keep in mind that just because the channel in broadcasting in HD doesn’t mean the program is in HD, both channel and program need to be HD to get the great High Definition your looking for.

So, look for the HD Logo from your TV station and at the beginning of the new TV show during prime time, sit back and enjoy the show. OH, and don’t forget the popcorn!
