It is sad, it is difficult to admit it, but this is the reality. Spain keeps on being the country of Europe, which for the motive that is, continues without detaching the television with the format of high definition. Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Poland, Italy, Portugal, Albania, Switzerland, Austria, Russia, Scandinavian countries... overcome fully Spain in the application of the
HDTV.
The experimental tests initiated in 2007 for the
TDT of the Catalan one TV3, at present without emission, gave the exit gunshot to an emergent technology that in Spain has not just started. Digitalis + threw his Channel +
HD and now he announces new channels under this format, of course, with the need to be paid to the devaluated Hurry platform and to have to pay for a recipient (to the margin of his services), which price is not within reach of all the pockets and any more in epoch of crisis.
While, in Europe it is possible to gain access by means of satellite to channels of high definition without having the
necsidad of being paid to no platform. It is only necessary to have a recipient
capazar of receiving the sign in
HD and a TV set with the same characteristics. Art
HD,
Simul HD,
Astra +
HD is only a sample of what it is possible to see openly, little, but sufficiently to be able to value the difference between the
SD (digital standard) or the
HD.
What fits in a transpondedor satelital
The
Astra goes like example, the last satellite of
SES Astra thrown to the space, 1M.
Astra is the principal European operator of satellites (it comes to 117 million hearths), he has capacity for 36
transpondedores. In each of them three channels high fit definition ó 12 of standard quality.
