Thanks for the post from Lynn Guy

One of the best shows on my direct tv packages on is The Tudors. Although the idea is not a new one, utilizing the Tudor period of history and the tempestuous life of Henry the VIII for entertainment value, the concept of the show was one of innovation. Presenting the show, with not only historical information, but also giving the character of Henry something of an aloofness, yet also approachable nature. These elements combined make you angry at his unjust decisions, yet at the same time, you feel pity for him in his more tragic moments.

The HD quality breathes a new life into this series not only because of the beauty in the scenery of the English lands, but also the pageantry that can be seen in the palaces and castles. The costuming alone makes the investment in HD well worthwhile, the beauty of the colors in the materials used as well as the details in things such as the jewelry used are breathtaking. Watching The Tudors in HD gives you a new perspective and appreciation for the work and artistry in the backgrounds and costuming that you would never notice with regular television.

Watching the battles as they unfold or the activities of the court of the King of England in HD gives you the feeling of being there thanks to the details of HD.
