HD-DVD vs Blu-ray: A Primer
High Definition DVD (HD-DVD) vs Blu-ray is shaping up to be a battle to rival the VHS vs Betamax format war of the early eighties. Looking like they've learned nothing from the DVD +/- RW debacle, the companies involved, whether they are in the technology or content distribution industry (or in Sony's case, both), are set to slug it out over the next few years.The prize is the licence fees that will be payable to the format owners when the next generation of high definition DVD players and recorders start shipping in volume. As high definition television becomes increasingly popular, consumers will want a recordable format that has the capacity to hold at least a couple of hours worth of HDTV content. Both Blu-ray and HD-DVD were developed in response to the anticipated need for an HDTV recording medium and provide content whose quality would match the expectations of HDTV-owning customers. Additionally, the film distribution companies will cash-in as they release all the titles currently...

What You Need To Know About DLP HDTVs
HDTV is definitely the wave of the future when it comes to television viewing technology. It appears that high definition television broadcasting will start to come into it's own this year and progressively become dominant in the next couple of years. What that means for you is a much sharper image, better sound, and in turn, an improved television viewing experience.
Ever since the advent of cable and satellite TV services, the march toward entirely digital TV signal broadcasting has been taking place.

And that has paved the way for high definition television standards that can make the fuzzy, unclear TV pictures of yesterday a relic of the past.

How Hollywood is trying to control your HDTV
The Federal Communications Commission's Broadcast Flag mandate is set to come in to force on 1st July, if legal challenges fail to stop it. The Broadcast Flag will place severe restrictions on consumers' ability to view HDTV content in the way that suits them and it will stop you from recording some HDTV programs altogether.The Broadcast Flag rule will make it illegal for anyone to ship any device capable of demodulating HDTV signals unless it listens for and respects the flag inserted into broadcasts by copyright holders. This flag is a digital rights management tool which tells HDTV receivers what they can and can't do with the signal. So for example, it will no longer be possible to burn recorded HDTV programs to DVD, or edit out the bits of a program you don't want. Nor will it be possible to stream HDTV signals around your house on your existing network.Many of the features of VCRs and DVD recorders that we now take for granted will be unavailable under the Broadcast Flag mandate.The...
