Selecting Video Equipment for Your Own HD Home

Movie viewers everywhere are upgrading their home to include home theaters. A home theater can be as simple as converting a family room with movie oriented décor to as elaborate as modifying your walls for good sound amplification or building tiered theater seating. Whatever your style or budget the one thing that will always remain the same is the need for good audio and video equipment.



Once you have settled on the type of television you are interested in it is best to stop by your local store to see the televisions in action. Each HDTV manufacturer is a little different and in a store you can see the subtle differences in television quality. Sony HDTV's are noted for having vivid color displays which can be seen when doing a side-by-side comparison. Choosing your HDTV is mostly a matter of personal preference.

After you have selected your HDTV and scheduled delivery you will need to consider programming. I've seen HD via cable, heard horror stories about local high-def broadcasts, and seen satellite HD programming firsthand. Hands down satellite HD television takes the prize for the best of both audio and video.

When selecting a satellite television provider look at the programming line-ups and exclusive features to make sure that you will be getting the provider that meets all of your needs. For instance, sports fans will be interested in offerings such as NFL Sunday Ticket or MLB Extra Innings for the best HD sports experience possible. Look for a package that has a good lineup of HD channels, no matter which provider you go with.

Before selecting your satellite television package consider a HD DVR, high-definition Digital Video Recorder. These recorders double as a satellite receiver and allow users to store multiple HD television shows, movies, series, and events.

High definition is not just for movies. You will find that a lot of your favorite series are now available in HD. Education and discovery programming can be seen in HD with extra packages that contain Smithsonian HD. Whatever your viewing preferences are there is a channel out there in HD to suit you.

After you have selected your programming all that is left is the installation. Most satellite television providers will offer a free professional installation. Some providers offer installation the next day in most areas.


The time you put in to researching and selecting your HDTV and satellite TV provider will be worth more than gold when you experience your first HD program.


DIRECTV is the nation's leading provider of satellite television services. For the best in sports programming, movies, and high-definition entertainment, choose DIRECTV satellite TV.
