Does Digital TV mean it's HD

[lj cm]

We have not received our Coupon yet, so we don't have the Digital Box.

I was wondering if all the channels then are High Definition or is it still same quality, just digital transmission.

If you have a digital TV you don't need a digital box but you will need a digital Ariel (which you can buy with the voucher) what is your TV model number?

Some are HD some SD.

It's a 7 year old 42" JVC TV. The model number is LT-42EX18.

Is channel 3,5 and 7 HD?.

This would mean that there are 10 HD channels.

It does not have a DVB-T tuner, so a box is needed.

3, 5 and 7 are HD.

But also remember, the original content has to be captured in Hi-Def also.

I would hazard a guess that much of the content being transmitted on Thai TV is not HD.

Just a guess though ...

Content? On Thai TV? What content?

(could not refrain)

But I am quite sure, that the most important content (current soap operas) are produced in HD.

If I remember right I have seem some of this stuff available in HD on youtube.

Also the live (studio) productions (morning show etc,) should be in HD.

Its a questions of transponder coasts!

Aproxinently one million baht for rent a month sometimes more!

This why many tv company's share one transponder and then picture quality goes down

[N47HAN]

A miilion a month is pretty much peanuts to a national tv station , not sure why you think its expensive ?

If your TV is 7 years old i doubt if it can show HD even if the programmes are.

Good point and I have also been thinking about that.

Maybe best to use the meagre Coupon value for help to buy a new TV.

No reason to buy a new TV set.

It has two HDMI connectors and does 1080p.

HD is older than some think.

A 42 inch is good enough for HD TV.

Quite likely the HD in Thailand - as in most countries - will be 720p (1280*720) "only" anyway,

Full HD (1080p) channels are a rare species even in highly developed countries offered by Pay TV providers (like SKY).

And for the non HD channels (576p) it is still overkill

I refer to the manual:

Actually HD is defined as 1080i in most of the world and is broadcast as such on cable and sat transmissions. There is no reason for the world to revert to the old US NTSC (never twice the same color) systems of TV broadcasting. TV has improved from the 1940's when I first watched it - and I appreciate the difference.

Worldwide, most HD channels on satellite and cable broadcast in 1080i. In the United States, 1080i is the preferred format for most broadcasters, with Discovery Communications, Viacom, Time Warner, Comcast owned networks broadcasting in the format; along with most smaller broadcasters. Only 21st Century Fox-owned television networks and Disney-owned television networks, along with MLB Network and a few other cable networks use 720p as the preferred format for their networks; A+E Networks converted from 720p to 1080i sometime in 2013 due to acquired networks already transmitting in the 1080i format.

Digital TV just means the signal is transmitted in digital format....TV stations can transmit their digital signal in either Standard Definition (SD) or High Definition (HD). Like the Terrestrial Digital TV channels now available for the DVB-T2 boxes which you can use your coupon to get, some of the channels are SD and some are HD....and in some cases a channel like Channel 3 and 7 could be transmitting in SD and HD but on different channels. Review below channels chart and you see what I mean.
