    When Analog goes dark

    I only sell one stand-alone VCR where I work now. A cheap 4-head Emerson mono VCR for between $35 and $40. The rest are all VCR/DVD combos.

    Best Conditions for OTA reception ??

    Wind seems to affect UHF signals for me, especially with analog channels. Is this because the wind, which is usually stronger at higher levels, is moving the transmitter around?

    Kansas City Area HD OTA

    It sounds like your TV has a built-in QAM tuner. My Sanyo 26" LCD HDTV has one and I've got the incoming cable line connected to "Digital Antenna In". With that scan (I'm just southwest of Hartford, CT), I get the primary channel for 5 locals (CBS, ABC, WB, NBC and FOX) plus PBS-HD, which is on...

    Updated Digital TV Scan in New Britain, CT

    This morning, I attached an oridnary pair of VHF telscoping rods to the back of my Sanyo 26" LCD HDTV in New Britain (the kind that are supposed to pop into a little slot on the back of a small TV). Here's what I got: [D 33] WFSB-DT (CBS) Hartford 3-1, 3-2 ("CBS 3"), 3-3 (blank) [D 10]...

    New Britain, CT, $13 RCA Indoor and QAM Tuner?

    Just for fooling around, I had a UHF corner Yagi from a uninstalled roof antenna hooked up in my bedroom with a short twinlead going to my Sanyo TV. With it pointing towards the northwest (or the longer boom portion of it facing that way), I was getting: WFSB-DT 3-1 (CBS) Hartford WFSB-DT...

    How is "The Tube"?

    The Tube just became available here in Hartford/New Haven on WTXX-DT channel 12-2 (a.k.a. "20-2") of Waterbury/Hartford. Does the viewer determine the playlist by phoning in requests or is it predetermined?

    This is.....weird

    Here in greater Hartford, WEDH-DT (PBS) digital channel 42 isn't on the air yet. Comcast of New Britain and Hartford have a cable-only feed of CPTV (Connecticut Public Television). It's strange because only about 90% of the screen is filled during the day (more than a traditional pillarbox but...

    New Britain, CT, $13 RCA Indoor and QAM Tuner?

    Actually, I only get two little boxes on a black screen with one box slightly larger than the other. You see the woman from E! advertising what's On Demand. There's no menu screen under the box at all. :( Meanwhile, on Wednesday afternoon, I did a local scan with the antenna hooked up...

    New Britain, CT, $13 RCA Indoor and QAM Tuner?

    Scott, as usual, you're right on the money. Now if only there was a way for it to get YES-HD or NESN-HD? (We still don't get the Mets channel here.) ABC-HD looked quite nice during the NBA Finals (GO DALLAS!!) on Thursday and Sunday! This thing also seems to leak an occasional piece of an On...

    New Britain, CT, $13 RCA Indoor and QAM Tuner?

    I'm not sure if the TV receives a 1080i signal or not. I only saw the manual mention 720p (progressive). It has an HDMI output jack yet my Magnavox DVD recorder doesn't have that. I've only got progressive cables hooked right now. The TV offers "Pix 1" through "Pix 4" to change the screen shape...

    New Britain, CT, $13 RCA Indoor and QAM Tuner?

    I live outside of Hartford, CT and recently purchased a 26" Sanyo LCD HDTV model DP26746. I threw on a $13 RCA Indoor antenna with a 12-position tuning knob and a round UHF reflector. Depending on position, I get the following: WFSB-DT (CBS) channel 33 Hartford 33-1 Analog channel 3...

    US Analog shutoff in 2009 - $40 vouchers for all!

    The Wal-Mart I work at has a 27" Sanyo TV with the dual tuner for $268. It looks to have a single 75 ohm coaxial antenna/cable input and the typical A/V and S-Video input. BTW, I know what NTSC is. What does "ATSC" officially stand for?

    US Analog shutoff in 2009 - $40 vouchers for all!

    From what I've heard, a given market is supposed to switch over before that if 85% of a given DMA is capable of receiving digital broadcasts. Here in Hartford/New Haven (CT), Hartford's PBS station (WEDH-TV channel 24) doesn't have their digital on over-the-air yet (available on Comcast in New...
