Direct TV has a different cable box for HD signals such as Comcast has.?
Heres my problem with this guy at work makes me crazy, he says he doesn't get, HD is all about what he said, he barely notices a difference and got a few other people to agree with him. I wanted to blow my head. At least, I know that something is wrong the next day I go to work and ask him what kind of cable it is exactly what I thought, he tells me hes an S-video. Now we can start. I hate ignorent people. I thought that was the problem so I gave him some HD Component cable and said to him, theres your problem. The problem is, I do not know if its direct TV Box is equipped with component video or HDMI outputs, or they offer a HD box as Comcast has. Direct tv doesn't have HD for free.
The short answer – yes, has DirecTV different set-top boxes, and only some of them can receive HDTV signals. Most of the HD receiver, standard composite or S-video signal from a downconverter output, making it possible, he has an HD receiver and he is only looking at the downconverted output. In fact, you can guarantee it is downconverted .. You assume correctly, that HD is only available via YPbPr (component) and HDMI output. But of course, he could be a SD-only receiver. The trick here … find out the model number, then you will be able to do a web search and find out if its received CAN receive HD or not. Here you will find the latest models here: http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPageNR.jsp?assetId=P4380066&footernavtype=-1 Like Dish Network, DirecTV sends most of its HD content in MPEG-4/AVC format instead of MPEG-2, so you definitely had a receiver than a couple of years , or you can not get HD content. .. As a free HD Probably not. Most of the satellite companies charge anything extra for HD content. If you do not have on your subscription, you may get little or no HD channels. If you plan to buy the HD, the HD channels from a HD receiver will get downconverted, But they probably will not show up at all on a non-HD receiver.
