    OTA HD/DTV questions

    Yeah, I think it's generally not good. But maybe programs like CC cleaner leaves 32 entries. Are there some ways to tweak my PC so that I get better performance out of Media Center? What about using Catylist Control Center settings?

    OTA HD/DTV questions

    The inspector came by my apartment and did some routine testing. He says that my outlets are grounded, and that those buildings are all well grounded. I think it was actually the microwaves. I was also using an extention cord, but I don't think that mattered. My OTA signals are mostly reflected...

    OTA HD/DTV questions

    Why do I get better reception at night? Also, why do I get better reception my I put my hand on the antenna? Is that due to signal reflection? Almost all of my channels are south, and I am facing north, so must be getting signal reflections right?

    OTA HD/DTV questions

    Yes, I get nothing indoors. I have an out door UHF antenna with an amplifier that sits about 6 ft from the ground (best signal). There are alot trees and hills plus buildings that get in the way. I get Fox, CBS, PAX, UPN, WB as digital signals, but no all at the same time. I often have to adjust...

    OTA HD/DTV questions

    I see. My recieve is inside my TV. I made sure that I bought a TV that could get digital signals. As much as I paid for it, it should get signals from other planets ;) :D

    OTA HD/DTV questions

    What about signal strength? My high end TV (which I bought on an impulse) also measures dig. TV strength. Does anybody know anything about this? What is the minimum/maximum? I get NBC on VHF (10.3) with a steady signal of 18-22. My strongest signal is 80 for CBS (56). Both stations are same...

    OTA HD/DTV questions

    You know, even with a coaxial cable connection, I still get a great picture. I used to have DishNetwork with HD (I cancelled all of it), and my coaxial seems to be almost as good as the component that I used. I'm using a UHF amplified antenna with a coaxial cable. I only paid $40 for it. It's...

    OTA HD/DTV questions

    "DTV Link" is an IEEE 1394 port, or FireWire. I'm guessing that RCA must have their own version.

    OTA HD/DTV questions

    It's only my microwave that creates the interference, and only when it runs. I live in an appartment that is over 30 years old, and uses copper wiring. I'm trying to figure out what DTV Link is, it has to do with recording TV. I guess some devices use this kind of technology. My tuner is...

    OTA HD/DTV questions

    When I run my microwave, my digital TV goes out. Is there a way to prevent this? What is DTV link for? Is cable wire the best thing to get OTA HD? I didn't think that was possible, but I guess I was wrong, because my TV picks up both 720p and 1080i, and 420p OTA. Would I be better off...
