Determining What Type Of Signal You Are Receiving

Question:

How can I improve the picture quality on my TV?

 

Answer:

To enjoy the highest picture quality on your TV, it needs to receive a True HD signal. This means both of these things need to happen:

 

Watch a High Definition (HD) Channel: Your HD channels come from your cable or satellite provider. Each channel usually has two versions - one in Standard Definition (SD), and one in High Definition. Make sure you're watching the HD version!

Choose a True HD Program: Not all shows on an HD channel are actually recorded in HD. Some are just regular shows made bigger. These shows might have funny bars on the sides. For the best picture, look for shows that are truly in HD � they'll fill the whole screen nicely and look amazing!

Now, see which of these descriptions fits your situation best:
