An extremely bodge and pretend implementation of High Definition, Digital TV. Still uses MPEG compression but has a resolution of 576 lines, progressive (p) and is usually chronically over compressed. Low Definition is still widescreen but only ever offers 2 channel Dolby Digital AC-3 surround sound.
LCN70 on the Seven Network Australia, LCN60 on Prime Australia, LCN20 on ABC Television Australia and LCN30 on SBS Australia.
