HD also delivers enhanced audio. <EM>Note: Although HDTV comes in wide-screen format, not all wide-screen broadcast is high definition. For instance, although many DVDs will play in a wide-screen format, they\'re not necessarily high definition. Also, not all High Definition televisions are wide-screen.</EM></P>\n<P align=right><A class=blue11pxBold href=\"#top\">Top</A></P>\n<P><A name=2></A><SPAN class=hcQ><STRONG>What is the difference between DTV, HDTV, and SDTV?</STRONG></SPAN><BR>DTV is a general reference to Digital Television and can be either HDTV (High Definition) or SDTV (Standard Definition). HDTV can broadcast at resolutions typically as high as 1920 by 1080 pixels, whereas the resolution of SDTV/EDTV broadcasts (also known as Enhanced Definition) are typically only as high as 640 by 480. Note: standard analog TVs are unable to receive DTV signals (neither HD or Standard).</P>\n<P align=right><A class=blue11pxBold href=\"#top\">Top</A></P>\n<P><A name=3></A><SPAN class=hcQ><STRONG>Do I need another (separate) converter box to get HD?</STRONG></SPAN><BR>No. The HD set top box will be much the same as your current digital box, however, it will have the ability to provide HD signals to your HDTV.</P>\n<P align=right><A class=blue11pxBold href=\"#top\">Top</A></P>\n<P><A name=4></A><SPAN class=hcQ><STRONG>What do I need to receive Cox HD service?</STRONG></SPAN><BR>An HDTV set and an HD set top box (converter).</P>\n<P align=right><A class=blue11pxBold href=\"#top\">Top</A></P>\n<P><A name=5></A><SPAN class=hcQ><STRONG>What are HBO and Showtime HD?</STRONG></SPAN><BR>These are separate channel offerings providing programming in HD format.

Satellite is unable to offer local broadcast content in HD format. \n<LI>With satellite in addition to the HD programming subscription, you\'re required to buy an HD receiver, possibly even a new dish. With High Definition Service by Cox, all you need is your HD programming subscription and rental of the HD set-top box. No need to purchase expensive technology that may soon be evolving.</LI></UL>\n<P align=right><A class=blue11pxBold href=\"#top\">Top</A></P>\n<P><A name=9></A><SPAN class=hcQ><STRONG>What equipment will I need to view HD programming?</STRONG></SPAN><BR>An HDTV set and a special set-top receiver are required. To work with our initial HDTV offering, your HDTV set must have a YpbPr (red, green, blue) component input and must support 1080i HD signals. Most new HDTV sets support the 1080i format. Please refer to your owner\'s manual or the manufacturer\'s web site to determine if your HDTV supports 1080i. \n<P align=right><A class=blue11pxBold href=\"#top\">Top</A></P>\n<P><A name=10></A><SPAN class=hcQ><STRONG>What level of service do I need to receive local high definition channels?</STRONG></SPAN><BR>You can receive CBS and WHRO (PBS) with just our limited service and the leasing of a high definition set-top box for $9.95 from Cox, but by subscribing to our expanded service and digital level of service you will receive INHD 1 & 2 plus have access to ESPN HD and Discovery Theatre HD.
