The HDTV Tuner Makes 'The Year of HD' Available to Everyone
New website, The HDTV Tuner, de-mystifies HDTV.
(PRWEB) February 21, 2005 -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs teamed up with Sony president, Kunitake Ando, during his keynote speech at Macworld Expo in San Francisco to tell the world that 2005 would be the year of high definition video and TV.
He may well be right. Shipments of High Definition televisions and set-top boxes are gaining momentum and content providers like Dish Networks and DirecTV are stepping up their marketing activity. HDTV content is increasing rapidly with most major television content providers making high definition versions of their most popular programs.
However, for the consumer, buying HDTV equipment and signing up for a service can be a complicated and daunting process. HDTV, like many new technologies is riddled with confusing acronyms, complicated explanations, and far too much information. A quick search for HDTV-related websites reveals that most sites are aimed at enthusiasts with a high-level of technical understanding. There are precious few targetted at consumers who want to know more about HDTV and about whether tehy should be investing hard-earned cash in high definition equipment.
New website, The HDTV Tuner (http://www.the-hdtv-tuner.com) aims to remove the confusion and uncertainty by providing surfers with a clear, accurate and easily digestible information on the technology, the equipment, and the available content to enable anyone with an interest in HDTV to find and easily understand the information they need.
In addition to the website, users can sign-up for the free monthly newsletter, to keep up to date on developments, and use the sites RSS feed to view updates in a news reader.
