Live the Asli HD experience with STAR

Understanding HD

HD stands for High Definition, which in simple terms means a far better quality of visuals than the ones that are available to us right now. Your favourite STAR characters will now look so real, it'll feel like they're sitting next to you! You'll be able to see the details in their jewellery, the different shades of brown in their eyes and experience grittier action sequences, funnier gags and heartfelt drama with them. HD will make it all possible, giving you one fantastic viewing experience, right in the comfort of your living room.

How do you get the Asli HD experience?

To get the Asli HD experience, you will need an HD TV, an HD DTH connection and Asli HD content. While you can buy the first two, the HD content can only be provided by a broadcaster like STAR.

For Asli HD, the content needs to be shot on HD cameras. In India, Star TV is the only broadcaster to shoot and uplink content in HD.

Want to watch Pratigya from Star Plus in HD? Anjaana Anjani on Star Gold? Avataar on Star Movies? Or Dexter on Star World? All you have to do is call up your DTH operator and subscribe to Star HD Channels to receive high quality HD content daily.

What are the benefits of HD?

Sharper picture - An HD format has 1080 active pixel lines. This means the resolution is one or two million pixels per frame, approximately 5 times that of a regular TV.

Panoramic viewing experience - The aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the width of the image to its height, is 16: 9. Thus the images on HD TV do not get stretched on your screen, but look real and lifelike.
