HDTV- is high-resolution digital television with Dolby Digital surround sound.
HDTV-is the highest digital television there is.
This allows HDTV to have extraordinary images with stunning sound
This requires new production and transmission equipment at the HDTV stations.

It has twice the vertical and horizontal resolution of standard television
