Manufacturer's Description
The VTXD800U digital set-top box was voted as the best buy in "what Video & TV" magazine November 2003. The VTXD800U has all the latest features and will allow an analogue TV to receive Freeview Digital channels.
Digital broadcasting is revolutionising the way that we use our televisions, and with the Government committed to achieving digital switch-over between 2006-10 the only way you will be able to watch television in the future is digitally. And the best way to do this is by using a Sony Freeview idTV.
The idTV advantage
There are plenty of practical reasons for upgrading to a Sony Freeview idTV, all of which are designed to enhance your viewing pleasure:
Freeview
You will be able to take full advantage of 'Freeview' television. Not only does this give you access to your existing channels (BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV1, C4, 5), but you will also receive up to 30 TV channels and 20 digital radio stations all subscription free! And as all Sony idTVs have an integrated digital decoder, no complicated wiring or additional boxes are needed. It is digital television without the hassle.
Electronic Programme Guide
Due to the increased programme choice available with digital televisions, Sony Freeview idTV sets provide an intelligent menu facility called the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG). EPG allows the user to search for a particular programme type such as feature films or simply view by programme number or time of day.
Widescreen Pictures
You will be able to receive and view true 'widescreen' programmes, just as the director had intended you to see them!
Digital Picture
Digital signals are not susceptible to the usual interference that causes 'noise' or 'ghosting', resulting in a picture of vastly superior quality when compared to a traditional analogue image.
Digital Text
A vastly improved, higher resolution Digital Text facility has been designed to offer a comprehensive, interactive service. Many of the pages within the Digital Text service retain a one quarter size image of the current television programme, allowing you to navigate the text pages without missing any action. Further, Digital teletext can be accessed easily from the remote control when watching a digital channel with this service, such as any BBC channel.
Digital Sound
Digital sound has no distortion or interference, so no more hiss or crackle! It is comparable to CD sound quality.
Additional Services
Access to services for the visually impaired and the hard of hearing, along with clear, recordable subtitles are all part of the features available with a Sony Freeview idTV. Additionally, interactive services are available with certain programmes, such as 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' or the BBC's World Cup services.
Freeview Channels
The digital service from Freeview has up to 30 TV channels, up to 20 radio programmes and several interactive services.
