HD TV Box Advantages

Whether or not HD TV is advantageous is one of the most frequently asked questions these days. In order to get the most of the advantages of HDTV, you must first understand what HDTV is and how it works. There are a lot of features of HD TV that simply cannot go unrecognized. In fact, there is a lot to be said.
It is an obvious fact that HD TV has a lot of advantages, such as improved picture quality, digital pictures that are more absolute than snowy, and the absence of problems related to signal degradation. With HD TV at home, you can now enjoy an interactive experience on Indian TV via a two way digital technology.
Defining HD TV
HD TV or High Definition Television is an innovative technology that has been a major step ahead for the world of television. Today, HD TV is available almost everywhere, and it is just not like any other television experience.
High Definition ensures that the top-rated resolution is offered within the category of digital television. HD TV is usually digital in nature, but all digital content is not necessarily HD.
The Real Advantages:
HD TV Offers Wider Images
This is one of the greatest advantages of HD TV. You can get to see much wider images, which is indeed visually pleasing. When you are watching your favorite shows on Indian TV, you can actually see a broader spectrum of the content and enjoy the visuals.
The HD screen is presented in the 16:9 widescreen formats, which are much higher than the standard television content. Zooming options are also available, but 16:9 is the highest format you can attain.
Detailed Picture Quality
The picture quality of HD TV will always be mentioned as its major advantage. It offers a much better picture quality than standard television sets. HD has great clarity, which means that the picture you are seeing on screen is less fuzzy and not blurred. HD also ensures smooth motion and richer colors that look more natural than made up, along with a surround sound system and other added effects.
The colors should be considered, given that they are more realistic than you would usually get to see on ‘normal’ TV sets. The visual effect is at least 2 to 5 times more detailed than a normal picture.
5.1 Channels CD-quality Dolby Digital (AC-3) Surround Sound
The surround sound system of HD TV deserves a mention as well. It is indeed very difficult to achieve the level of sound quality that HD TV offers. Irrespective of weaker signals (which normally do not affect the HD TV picture or sound), you will always get the best output.
No Imperfections
With HD TV, it can be rightfully said that the chances of imperfections have been ruled out. With a traditional television, you may experience problems in viewing due to weak signals caused by bad weather, double images, picture sparkles due to impulse noise, and other such problems- all of which are unlikely if you use HD TV.
This is one of the biggest reasons why people prefer HD to analog these days.

"Peepli Live" - First Hindi Low Budget Movie
"Peepli Live", a low budget movie centering the story about the difficulties of rural life and starring unknown actors, has drawn plenty of Bollywood attention to it and created a buzz all over India.
The focus of the plot lies in bureaucratic hypocrisy towards Indian farmers. It emphasizes an old government system towards the entire rural sector. "Peepli Live" was written and directed by Anusha Rizvi while Aamir Khan produced it.
The tragedy of rural India has already been shown in films like "Mother India", "Do Bigha Zameen", "Slumdog Millionaire" and many others, but what was so special about "Peepli Live" was the fact that it was created for shockingly low budget.
What have we learn from it?
Two major conclusions:
1. Film producers don't need a lot of money to create a first-class movie.
2. There is a place for meaningful cinema.
Here is the official trailer of "Slumdog Millionaire":

How Indian TV Affects Tobacco Consumption
*Use this promo code and get a discount: wispecial will give 10% discount on subscription.
Indian TV and Bollywood films are known for giving good social and cultural messages. However, a new face of the Indian entertainment mediums has set an alarm among the government bodies and health facilities of the country. A National Survey in India has recently revealed how the mass media exposure has led to the increase of tobacco consumption among youth irrespective of their gender.
Indian TV and Films Endorsing Tobacco Consumption - Good Entertainment Gone Wrong
India is the second largest consumer of tobacco and it has been estimated by 2020 the country will claim 1.5 million lives annually due to increase in tobacco consumption. The contribution of Indian TV and films towards the popularity of cigarette smoking can’t be overlooked. The Indian actors are role models for the common man and are idolized by the latter for the clothes they wear, the hairstyles they groom, the dialogues they speak and the cigarette they smoke.
How the Trend Continues
Cigarette smoking has been a part of the Indian TV and films, but the first decade of the 21st century has seen a dramatic rise in the scenes where leading men and women in films light up a cigarette. Deepika Padukone, an upcoming superstar of Bollywood and a youth icon, was recently seen as a smoker in her film Karthik Calling Karthik. In his film titled Swades, Shahrukh Khan was seen smoking Marlboro cigarettes, the brand that was yet to be launched in India.
Amitabh Bachchan, the veteran Bollywood actor, was spotted smoking in his films like Bunty Aur Babli and Family. Even the films had publicity posters with the actor shown with a cigarette. And when these films are telecasted on the Indian TV, the scenes are watched by the whole family, including teenagers and children.
Tobacco Consumption on Regional Indian TV Channels
It is not that only main TV channels are endorsing the films with smoking scenes. Rajnikanth, the superstar from South India, is known for his unusual style of lighting a cigarette from the enemy’s denim. And the actor’s movies are repeatedly shown on ETV Kannada and other regional language TV channels. The ETV Telugu programs and films too show actors consuming tobacco in one form or the other.
According to a recent report from WHO, the tobacco consumption is on a rise among the Indian youth. The surveys conducted in the country further shows that 52 percent of the individuals in their young age smoke their first cigarette after seeing their favorite stars doing so.
Efforts against Tobacco Consumption Scenes on Indian TV
The former Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss started his campaign to ban tobacco consumption scenes on the Indian TV and in the Bollywood movies in 2005. The minister also went on criticizing actor Shahrukh Khan for lighting a cigarette in public while watching a cricket match.
Recently, the Bollywood director Sanjay Gupta had to spend 20 Indian Rupees to replace the posters of his movie Acid Factory when one of the leading actor was shown smoking a cigarette in the original posters. Bipasha Basu, the sizzling female Bollywood actor, recently refused to even hold a cigarette in a scene of her upcoming film.
Such efforts need to be made to clean the image of the Indian TV and films in the society. The whole world watches the Indian TV and films through set top box technology and the entertainment providers just can’t afford to deliver the wrong messages.
