DISH Network HDTV

HDTV is a broadcast medium whereby programs are transmitted in a digital format. HD broadcasting utilizes 1,125 lines of resolution, as opposed to only 525 lines of resolution regular analog broadcasts use. The more lines of resolution the sharper and clearer the picture.

The audio portion of the broadcast signal is also transmitted in digital format so you get a richer, more realistic sound.

A HDTV receiver isn't concerned with signal strength, or what conditions exist between your set and the transmitter.
