This arrangement yields 720 horizontal lines on the screen.1080p = 1,920 pixels displayed across the screen horizontally and 1,080 pixels down the screen vertically.

It is a very noticeable difference on screens larger than 27″.Cable TV picture quality is limited by its technology to just 720P.Satellite television, like that from DIRECTV, high definition is broadcast in up to Blu-Ray quality or 1080P.SKD3013 3 Channel HD Encode ModulatorSKD19 Series 1U Rack 12CH Encode ModulatorTV for Hotels Channel AvailabilityIn their homes, Cable and Satellite TV subscribers both have a tremendous amount of channels available to them.

So how about cable and satellite television packages available for Hotels?Hotel television programming choices are:Cable : 60-80 channels total with up to 60 (depending on # of HD local channels) in HDvsSatellite: 160+ channels with 75 in HD + # of Locals available in HDCable TV packages available for the Hospitality industry from Comcast, Cox and Time Warner are very limited.

Cable’s platform limits their ability to provide the best possible viewing experience today and as technology advances they will fall even further behind.Satellite TV providers like DIRECTV are constantly working to bring you the newest hotel television system  technology like the Com1000 HD Headend and most recently the revolutionary DIRECTV Residential Experience for Hotels.DIRECTV has also brought the TV experience guests have at home today into the hotel room with the same remote control, the same interactive channel guide and even the digital video recorder (a very popular feature for luxury, business traveler focused and extended stay properties).DIRECTV is working with television manufacturers to provide televisions with pro:idiom encryption built in and DIRECTV receivers built in so you don’t have to have bulky cable boxes on top of your new high definition flat screen TV.All of these things help to make your hotel TV system easily adaptable for the constant changes in technology.TV for Hotels: Cost vs ValueCable and Satellite TV providers have programming packages for hotels that are priced similarly.
