normal tv/standard defintion tv/ sdtv is made up from about 480 lines. new technology means we can now get more lines normally 720 or 1080 lines meaning better quality. HDTV is used to describe this better quality version of televison
However, this better quality tv signal need better quality tvs to watch (hD ready tvs) and alos needs better quality cable to send the signal through HDMI cables
Summary:
HDTV: 'high definition television'. basically used to describe picture with lots of lines (ie better quality)
HDMI: 'High-Definition Multimedia Interface' a type of cable/connection used to transmit HD data. Like a high def version of a scart leadThe Optimist and the Pessimist
The difference is a droll
The Optimist sees the doughnut
