For us, for instance, the 28-0 is DISH's local of our OTA 28-1 and on dish, 28-1 and above (if any subchannels) are OTA signals into the satellite receiver at this time. Prior to the anaolg shutdown (Feb 17 for us) 28-0 was the analog (and for the previous 6 months a center-cut version of the...

Sounds like the SD feed is not set in Center Cut. That makes a SD or HD picture fit a 4:3 and the user can stretch it to fill a 16:9. Center cut does not distort the picture, but leaves it up to the user. If Dish is picking this up over the air, it is most likely DISH that is doing this...

On saying they can't black out regions is BUNK. They have control of the receivers and can blank them out in advance by sending info to them. Right now, they blank out more than the desigated area.

Most in your neighborhood.. MOST of the dma does get them.

Yes, for ch 11 watch out for fm in the 98-99 mhz range. The second harmonic is right on ch 11. We've used the pico Ho-Low vhf splitter to trap this out.

The 38 degrees is the actual elevation. With the dish you are offset. It is geometry. Look at the feedhorn to the dish and then the angle made to reflect that line will be 38 degrees. 38 is your look angle and what the dish sees.

A larger antenna or adding an amp can KILL your digital reception. Unlike analog, where a strong signal does not hurt, a digital signal can go to pot if too strong. Our VHF digital has one of the top strongest signals in the area (see TVFool.com ) and we use attenuators for several things. For...

Howard Smoward :down

Left my message and posted on NEPA's board.. Also sent the link to all at our station.

Words, words, words.

Well, with TurboHD I though I'd have it by reading the start of this thread. Nope.. Just a BIG RED background on the program guide meaning I am not subscibed. :( I do have Turbo-HD and the only additions were that they added the local SD's to the local HD's. When this market went on HD...

If you are watching that AT a NBC station, this could be the problem. The Original NBC HD system, currently being replaced, has a problem in that they go from 2 ch to 5x1 and require stations to manually switch things to get it right. With the new system going in (we got ours last week), they...

I use a Direct dish for 61.5

I had the problem for the first time (dish for 4 years) Monday.

Watch them bring it up again.. But then add this and that to it to no end and they will vote on Feb 18th!

Our analog UHF is close to 4 million watts. (That is ERP.. the actual xmtr power is 120kw. The one million is ERP, also, which is about 25k - 50kw, depending on antenna gain. Our digital VHF is at the FCC's highest power, 30kw erp with just under 4kw delivered to the antenna. Big savings in...

Go to Solid Signal | Digital Converter Boxes, DIRECTV® Systems, HDTV Antennas, DISH Network, satellite equipment and home entertainment supplies & accessories and look at some of the flat panels that look like a picture and hang on the wall. Rabit ears stink on digital. I know one person that...

The digital planning started over 10 years ago. While it's been less than 5 years that broadcasters have gone digital, it's been serious only the last year. But broadcasters are required to run crawls about it. While only in English, we are now required to run it in both English and Spanish...

It is HD. The picture is the center 4:3 plus the sidebars and it is being transmitted at the same rate as full hd on that channel. Now, is that 4:3 content HD. Most likely not. But it is being upconverted to HD. 16:9 does NOT have to be HD. 4:3 does not have to be SD. ASPECT ratio's are...

Let's see. I can copy the website of Satellite Guys and post it and quote anypart of it.. change a header or some info in it and post it on another web site. Oh, that's illegal because it is copyrighted? The broadcasters hold the copyright on the programs on their franchise. Ever see a...

Dish does not use the analog SD's/. They downcoverted and center-cut the HD (DT) signals since November for the WB/Scranton market

They do this all the time. When WNEP was added they did it to them.

Besides the tuner, it takes another switch cascaded on the first if I am not mistaken. Is this true? Switches are quite expensive in themselves (the 4's, that is). At least when I bough mine to allow 5. I have since backed down to 3 tuners.

ANd if you look close, while TIVO has the patent, they DID NOT INVENT the concept, proceedure. There was equipment being sold doing that before TIVO existed.

It's a radio wave. RF is affected by temperature, time of day, atmosphere, barometric pressure, movement of your antenna, movement of coax cable. loose connectors and other things. Having a steady reading is unusual.
