High-definition Television In Singapore
High-definition television in Singapore is currently in early adoption phase.
Although many households in Singapore own HD ready or Full HD television sets most of the free-to-air channels in Singapore still broadcast in SDTV. There are plans to increase the number of free-to-air high-definition channels in Singapore when the analogue channels are discontinued following complete digital switchover between 2015 to 2020. In 2007, Singapore's national broadcaster MediaCorp announced plans to broadcast all its channels in high-definition by 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy.... In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
