Star Choice is the clear choice for high-definition television.
High-definition television (HDTV) is the greatest improvement to hit TV since colour replaced black-and-white broadcasts. It's more than just a wider screen. High-definition broadcasts deliver a superior picture with increased lines of resolution, taken with special cameras that capture greater detail than standard-definition broadcasts. All you need is an HD-ready television capable of producing the high-definition picture.
Star Choice leads the way in high-definition content with up to 28 HD channels at no extra cost* and a total of 38 dedicated HD channels featuring 2,500 hours of HD programming each week. Expand your HD lineup even further with our A&E HD and Discovery HD channels.
Make the most of the stunning detail of high-definition broadcasts with one of our two HD receivers - DSR505 HD and DVR530 HD.

HDTV delivers a superior picture
Here's how it works. Your old television set works with an analog signal that puts about 480 lines of information on your television screen. Each line is comprised of about 700 dots. HDTV screens have 1,080 lines of information with up to 1,920 dots per line.
All those dots of information result in less distortion, crisper lines and truer colours. You'll really notice the improvement when you watch sports events, where the action is fast, and on shows with intense lighting and lots of dark shadowy scenes.
More and more shows, movies, specials and sporting events are being produced with HD cameras. You can see most major sporting events, movies, documentaries and educational programs and regular prime-time programming from CBC, CTV, CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, TSN, Rogers Sportsnet, SRC, Discovery Channel, A&E, Super Écran, National Geographic, Showcase, Movie Central, The Movie Network, HDNet, WGN HD, Séries+ HD, Canal Vie HD, Ztélé HD and RDS HD. HD programming is also offered with NHL® Centre Ice™ and NFL Sunday Ticket.
Join the HD revolution
Thinking of upgrading to high definition? Star Choice is a natural choice. We were the first Canadian broadcaster to deliver HDTV programming. And our hardware is made by Motorola, a world leader in HD technology.
Now you can experience the superb picture quality of high-definition broadcasts and you can also record programming in HD format with the new DVR530 HD digital video recorder. The state-of-the-art DVR530 HD can pause, record and rewind live TV! It includes a DVI output for today's high-definition-ready televisions, while the 160-GB hard drive and dual tuners set it apart by allowing Star Choice subscribers to watch one of their favourite digital programs while recording another in HD or standard-definition format. Imagine putting your favourite TV shows on hold during an interruption and then returning to continue watching from where you left off, without missing a moment.
You can also enjoy great HD programming with the DSR505 HD receiver, a state-of-the-art integrated receiver and HD decoder with DVI output and MPEG4 upgradeable capability to keep pace with future digital compression. The Motorola DSR505 HD has an upgraded onscreen guide and a powerful Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) remote that changes channels through cabinet doors.
