We're becoming a stay-at-home society. An increasing number of American
families are spending their evening and week-end leisure time in the
convenience of their own homes rather than pursuing outdoor interests.
The
factor contributing towards this has been the surge in popularity of
home entertainment units These increasingly important pieces of
furniture bring together in one place all the modern electronic
equipment that families consider necessary for modern life.
This
equipment includes the basics such as radio, DVD player, VCR unit, and
the center-piece is the wide-screen HDTV system along with space for the
storage of the family's favorite movies and educational DVDs. Those
families which are up to date with the very latest TV technology and
possible aware of up-coming improvements in TV signal transmission,
would probably be using a satellite dish for signal reception. They
would be fully aware of the advantages and viewing benefits that
satellite transmission can bring.
Great Public Acceptance of Wide-Screen TVs
The
biggest single improvement in home entertainment technology in recent
years has been the introduction of flat-screen television. These devices
represent the very best in viewing TV pictures and attempt to replicate
the experience of being in a cinema. Most TV manufacturers are
promoting wide-screen televisions as their principal product as these
TVs provide the majority of sales. The public have readily accepted
these TVs as being necessary to their life-style
Wide-screen
televisions use one of two technologies in their design, either LCD
(liquid-crystal display) or Plasma. Plasma was first off the blocks and
in its early days it looked as if it would become the TV choice of the
future. However its continuing high price let LCD into the market so
that today this technology looks like becoming the dominant product.
Each system has its pluses and minuses, but one recent development
should swing the war in favor of LCD. California will shortly outlaw the
sale of plasmas because of their high power usage. So for the time
being the LCD system is the winner.
However the competitive
nature of the TV manufacturing industry ensures that newer and more
energy efficient technology is just around the corner. All the major
manufacturers are aware of the short-comings of the two present systems
and are looking at several optional technologies.
Introduction of Satellite TV
An
event that had a significant impact on a family's viewing experiences
was the start of satellite TV. This service was introduced in the mid
90s in competition to the cable TV providers. To put it bluntly,
satellite TV has swept the nation. With the ever-increasing number of
subscribers, satellite TV has got its cable competitors worried. The
larger number of channels on offer; the improvement in picture and sound
quality; the lack of transmission interruptions; the lower monthly
fees; and the perception that the satellite TV companies are more
progressive in technological advances is causing a huge decline in cable
subscribers.
HDTV arrives on the scene
The introduction
of HDTV (high definition television) will change the public's perception
of TV forever. HDTV gives the viewer a much improved picture quality
and sound presentation, far superior to the older format. This is
particularly so with 'action' programs such as sports and movies. Most
families that have HDTV and a HDTV programming package provided by one
of the satellite TV companies would never return to the SD format. For
them, the introduction of HDTV and HDTV program channels has been the
mostpopular of all the recent innovations within the TV industry.
HDTV
premium packages consisting of some of the public's favorite channels
and a comprehensive range of new movies is the center point of a
family's home entertainment.
