Taking into account the extent of today's TV technology, the ultimate viewing experience is now achieved with High Definition television. This provides a precise, absolute crystal-clear picture together with the very best sound quality ensuring YOU the viewer, has a TV experience that just cannot be matched by using Standard Definition.
In order to receive high definition programs, the subscriber needs to be able to receive a HD signal, preferably from a satellite rather than via a cable; a HDTV is needed, which you just bought; a HD tuner may be needed, unless it's built into the TV; and a contract for a HDTV programming package needs to be purchased. Only a few free HDTV broadcasts are provided free.
You can make ATN (Star,Zee, sony) as a better quility picture with Dish Network and their major installer, AllSat Inc., are fully equipped to provide the upgrade facilities. Also check with FTA suppliers first and see what you can get as freebees.
Good stuff in - Good Stuff out.

Freddie,
Is Dish TV receiver available there ? I mean complete receiver, dish antenna and people to install and tune the receiver ?
I want to see south indian channels & Indian sports channel over there. We live in scarborough.
If i bring Receiver and antenna from India, the installers will can do rest?
Thanks.
There are a few subtle differences between the Receivers operating there in India and the ones that are here in the Canadian and NA markets. One of them happens to be the frequency and voltage system of operations. It is critical and needs looking into. And my suggestion to you will be to dispose that one off there and find a newer one here. A newer receiver will be a HIGH DEFINITION receiver. There are a lot of dealers in each area and a visit to the DISH web site will be well worth it. Find a suitable installer and he will need to set your new screen too. Ask him about the maximum usage time for that screen. It could be per day and the total usage too.
Also you will be subscribing to the programs that you want to watch. The FTA system has been down for the few weeks. So, that is out. I will know better after it rises its head again. Lot of things are in constant state of agitation. One of this is TV and program receptions.
Some of the older Video players will not provide you the quality that you will expect out of it. So, get into one that will do justice to your viewing.
Hence my suggestion to you is "Please do some investigation..... before you get into a system. It should last for a little while and also provide you with the type of programs that you desire to view." It could be a few movies in a language of your choice. Here is a statement that describes the current state of the Electronics world. What is new (Here) today is old (Gone) tomorrow.
Here is one of the HD receivers and their take. When you decide to subscribe to a service and use it, please report back to us here. We all will know more about them. http://www.dishnetwork.com/compare/default.aspx
Good Luck.

The channels of ATN are rebroadcast signals and
Exposed to inherent multiple compressions that make it loose quality. A better way to understand is:
Production = original document
1st Broadcast = photocopy of the original.
Down linked to Canada = 2nd photocopy
Edited and ads inserted = 3rd photocopy
Broadcast in Canada = 4th photocopy.
Trying to uprez a signal quality like that is of no use.
Luckily - we are launching the first Real HD channels soon:
Mehndi TV : imagine the W- channel in Hindi
Bollywood Times : imagine the HBO in Hindi
Stay tuned or contact your cable provider for more details.
FDR_Media Like ur mostly garbage explanation.
Rebroadcast does not necessarily mean signal quality loss.
Signal Q loss happens because of compression, transmission losses.
Compression is done by all cable and satellite providers to increase the available bandwidth for broadcast.
Whenever FDR launches his channels he will also be subjected to compression, unless the channels are Over the Air broadcast where the compression need is minimal as the entire channel freq is available for use by the channel.
Even if u have a hd tv u are always limited first by
1> Source recording
2> how the source is broadcast (i.e Standard def or in HD)
There is no HD version of ATN so it is still broadcasting in SD.

where is my car:
You are right , compression is always there. Question is how do you deliver the signal. In our case majority of the content at source is native HD and broadcast would be in HD. As you rightly pointed out, there are two ways of treating source in SD:
Convert it at asset point before signal broadcast = Expensive but near native HD quality.
Convert it at broadcast transmission point = Cheaper but image quality is poorer.
Let subscriber convert it at receiver point = Sucks but then you can afford to be uncaring about your customers if you are the only service in town 
I will definitely mail you an invitation as soon as we start our test transmissions to get your view on the quality and improvements.
