HDTV is here. The popularity of HD technology is undeniable. It may have started as a trend but is now the standard for everyone from major movie channels to local news stations. If you jump on board, you are going to be left behind.
With most satellite TV packages, HD usually comes for free! You only have to have a television capable of displaying the 16:9 HD video and you're good to go. It doesn't matter if you've got the top end 62 inch LCD 3-D capable TV's with built in Surround sound in 1080p or an old style 19" tube type that came out when HD was in its infancy, you can watch hundreds of shows and events in HD's blazing glory without having to pay an extra dime for it.
How, you may ask, can something that has taken 2 decades to build up and billions of dollars and a mandate from the Federal Government to force everyone to switch from analog TV to digital HD be free? Simple. Satellite providers want you to switch from cable or even from rabbit ears over to their services. HD is a popular trend right now with no sign of slowing down. They will make special offers to entice consumers to switch. All you have to do as the savvy TV enthusiast is to look around. You won't have to look very hard at all.
Direct mail advertising comes to your house about once a week. These packets will offer all kinds of discounts from fast food coupons to discounts on life insurance. And, more often than not, offers for satellite TV service. If you peruse those ads, you'll find packages that begin as low as $30 per month, with all kinds of perks like free HBO and Cinemax for 3 months. You can even find offers for free HD channels. Not just the demo channels like you'd expect but the mainstream channels.
All your locals are usually free now. Since the government mandated switch from analog to digital, even local stations are getting in on the action and switching to HD. When you subscribe to the sports channel packages like ESPN, not only do you get all your favorite channels for football and baseball included, but all the ESPN and other sports HD channels as well. Baseball games are great on regular TV, but being able to count the blades of grass in the outfield is pretty spectacular.
And when you subscribe to the movie channels, all the accompanying HD channels come along. You can now experience movie theater quality without paying $7 for a bucket of popcorn. And you've not paid any extra!
HD is here to stay, and the satellite companies want you to have it. Be sure to check out all offers, mail and online, to find the one that best suits you. Then sit back and start enjoying high definition on your TV!
