What’s different about HD?
The number of pixels that make up the picture. There are four times as many as on a normal TV image, so the picture is sharper and you’ll see more detail and better color. The difference in quality is even more dramatic with a new LCD or plasma TV set.
Is HD available anywhere?
Watching TV broadcasts and movies from Video on Demand in HD puts greater demands on your line. Classic O2 TV (broadcasts in Standard Definition) needs a minimum line capacity of 3.5 Mb/s, the HD version of O2 TV needs 7 Mb/s. Unfortunately, if your line doesn’t have sufficient capacity you won’t be able to watch HD channels and HD movies in Video on Demand at the moment.
How do I find out if HD broadcast is available at my location?
You can check HD availability on this page. You can check by using your line number or address. Verification based on your line number is completely reliable, but if you your address the results are only approximate.
Can I receive HD on any TV set?
To get a full quality picture of HD channels and HD movies in Video on Demand, we recommend using a full HD or HD-ready TV set connected to a set-top box via an HDMI cable. Older CRT TV sets usually don’t have the HDMI interface. It is also possible to watch HD channels on these TV sets, and the picture quality should be slightly better, but not the same as with a full HD or HD ready screen.
