1. INTRODUCTION

1-1. A New World of Digital Entertainment

Welcome to the HTL-HD DIRECTV® HD Receiver, an advanced HDTV/digital satellite receiver that showcases a new generation of digital entertainment.

The DIRECTV HD Receiver delivers a variety of programs from DIRECTV and has a built-in HD Receiver that serves as a digital receiver that makes it possible to view digital programs even on your analog TV. However an analog TV will not display the HD quality.

The Advanced Program Guide™ delivered via satellite service also enables you to access and view program listings for over-the-air broadcasts and cable as well as DIRECTV® programming.

The ATSC Tuner uses Hughes’ 4th generation VSB technology for improved over-the-air digital recep- tion.

The built-in NTSC tuner with 4th digital comb filter provides optimum Video and Audio from terrestri- al/cable analog programming.
