KWTX News 10 is proud to announce that it is the first station in the Central Texas area to be broadcasting in High Definition Television (HDTV). KWTX-DT first went on the air on Friday, May 11th, 2001 at 5:10 PM. It began regular programming on Tuesday, May 15th, 2001 on Digital Channel 53. Since going on the air, KWTX has received reports of solid reception from viewers as far away as North Austin. A growing audience of High Definition viewers throughout our viewing area has expressed appreciation to us for being in the forefront of this new technology. HDTV is received through the use of a settop digital conversion box and a television set capable of displaying the HDTV format. KWTX-DT is broadcast on channel 53 or what may be displayed on a Digital settop converter as Channel 10.1. HDTV is a television format that is different than the type of television that you've become accustomed to watching. We've provided an illustration of the differences in picture quality that you'll come to enjoy as digital television audiences continue to grow. Here is a comparison of what regular television looks like compared to High Definition television. Because we forsake some quality of picture for higher download speeds, the pictures are only representative of analog and HDTV. Below is a comparison of a Standard Analog Television picture on the left and a High Definition Television picture on the right.
