So, because TV programmes have - until recently - been available in standard definition, your large screen, HD Ready TV picture has actually been 'stretched' to fit the screen - losing some of the quality
With freesat, some programmes are broadcast in HD which means they'll fit perfectly on your new Panasonic Viera HD Freesat Plasma TV giving you deeper, richer, more vivid colours. And many programmes are available with stunning surround sound.
