Consumers are demanding a more compelling, more immersive entertainment experience. They want bigger, clearer pictures and multi-channel surround sound to enjoy on the latest generation of widescreen television receivers. In other words...they want High Definition. The first wave of HD broadcasts, already launched in Australia and around the world, will soon be complemented by even more options to enjoy High Definition content - from broadband networks and Blu-ray packaged media to new-generation gaming consoles.
