Life-like TV kicks off here
SINGAPORE: Singapore has joined an elite group of nations in the digital world by rolling out High-Definition (HD) television programmes to homes. Offered by StarHub, the subscription-based service promising crisp, lifelike images was launched on Thursday - but not before running into some local publicity controversies. Days before the first commercial launch of HDTV in South-east Asia, service providers were jostling to broadcast their "pioneering" plans for HD, whose picture quality satisfied 96 per cent of StarHub's survey respondents. On Monday, StarHub sent out media invites for its commercial launch. But the next day, rival SingTel issued a news release saying its own HD channels will appear later this year. "SingTel wants to shape the Singapore market with the most HD programming and the best HD content," said executive vice president of consumer Quek Peck Leng.

HDTV nation responds
WASHINGTON - My story about buying and installing my new HDTV last week seemed to hit a nerve. I'd been searching for 21st-century television nirvana - beautiful picture, great programming, seamless digital recording and a high-def DVD experience. Alas, it was frustrating and I was forced to compromise on several fronts. The e-mails from readers poured in - well over 100 in the first 48 hours. Some were sympathetic to my experience; others chastised me for expecting too much. Several shared their alternatives for getting an HD signal. A few scolded me for misleading readers or excluding important information. .
