Best HDTV Offers

Below we've tried to come up with the best HDTV Offers. Also you may want to try Comet!

Sky Competition - Win a 40" Sony HDTV

The second prize in my opinion is the VIP trip to Hollywood to attend the red carpet arrivals for the 2007 Oscars - only kidding. The other prize is a 40" Sony HDTV.

To enter the competion visit here.

Laser Rear Projection TV

I'm not entirely sure about Mitsbushi's latest offering, this huge thing is a rear projection TV powered by laser rather than mercury lamps. The company does say however that the picture quality is greater than plasma or LCD TVs.

We'll have to take a look for outselves when its out in the market.

P2POD - Online HDTV Broadcasting

The P2POD is a nifty little gadget. Its capable of broadcasting over 1 thousand digital TV channels avaliable on the internet directly to your TV at HDTV quality.

Its also a delight to use, its simple and easy to set up the channels and if you're a internet radio buff it could also stream over 6,000 internet radio channels in stereo.

If you're the sort of person that would want to keep broadcasts, you can store them on the device too and then transfer them to a PMP via USB 2.o.

We don't see this as a competitor to Sky HD, this is for buffs whilst other people will use Sky HD to snuggle up on the couch on a Saturday night or watch the footy.

Satellite Reciever for Free to Air HD TV Channels

Humax has revealed a new product that will allow people to watch free-to-air HD TV channels. Currently there's just Euro 1080 that offer those channels but with the heat being turned up in HD TV land I'm sure that'll change very soon.
But here's one of my pet hate's. I go to the Humax website to find out more, and there's no information, the Press Release section is hideously out of date! grr!

From what I can gather it'll sell for around £300 and will decrupt MPEG 4/2 HD and standard transmissions, will support software updates etc, but you won't be get the new Sky HD channels.

The Observer: HD TV Revolution

The Observer has called HD TV the "biggest TV revolution since the switch from black and white to colour 40 years ago" and the rush for HD Ready TVs is already underway.

Not only have Sky made HD TV programes but the BBC have too with Bleak House and Planet Earth being shot in the high definition format.

Sharp 65 inch PN 655 LCD HDTV

How big? Pure madness!! If you're a home-theatre or HDTV buff then surely this is the fella for you!

It's designed for the business-user, but 65 inches of pure bliss is enough to make any reasonable electronics fan get their flexible friend out (as long as their wallet is as big as the TV!)

People are calling it the "World's largest 1080p LCD HDTV" and rightly so!

At last, more information from Sky

Sky have at last updated their website dedicated to their new Sky HD service. There's a shed load of information now including HD Video Clips, Wallpapers, Screensavers, News and a Glossary.

They point to the three things that you need to see Sky HD: A Sky HD box, a Sky HD Subscription and a HD Ready TV set.

It's getting close ...

British Sky Broadcasting have specified which company will provide the speakers to capture the sound for live premiership matches on Sky Sports HD and according to InfoComm its SoundField.

That's it? That's all you're tell me? Well come on how interesting could it be?

Discovery TV added to HD TV Lineup

We've heard news that Discovery will launch a 24-hour HD TV channel alongside the other channels that you can see when you flick through Sky.

And Sky are pretty chuffed by it all: "Sky HD will offer the best picture quality available and the addition of Discovery HD to the portfolio will enable viewers to be transported into the amazing environments featured on the channel, "said Brian Sullivan, director of customer products and services at Sky.

Sky HD Launch - April Fool's Joke

Sky have rejected claims that they'll launch their HD broadcasting service on 1st April. Another website called the Sky Customer Service line and an operator said that Sky HD would be ready on April 1st. Now we've either got a customer service operator with a sense of humour (a unique thing in my experience) or theres nothing to laugh about.

Our own view is that it'll be ready for the World Cup - just gut instinct, don't go writing any stories about it.

More details come to light.

Here's what you can expect from the range of channels that will support HD TV?

Sky One - 24, Rescue Me, Bones, Over There and Stargate.

Artsworld HD - The Marriage of Figaro, Othello, The Who Live at the Isle of Wight, Jimi Hendrix Live at the Isle of Wight Festivaland Anthony Minghella Directs Madam Butterfly
