It is the broadcasting station that is sending the visible VBI data and not your antenna or TV's fault. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC#Lines_and_refresh_rate Says 525 lines, 486 of which are visible. Normally in analog NTSC on a CRT screen, the VBI data is projected to the non-visible...

Severe ghosting was/is not a good sign for digital TV reception. My VHF-Hi channels usually had 2-3 strong ghosts but I can still receive them after some work. Could you post the results from filling out this form: TV Fool It will help us figure out what options you have

MR2NR, I have a RCA model DTA800B1 The signal meter on my RCA unit is mostly a signal strength meter Other units I have used and owned give a signal quality, which is much more valuable for digital TV. I have had a Zenith DTT900 as well as both the DigitalStream DTX9900 and DTX9950 I have...

I understand that. Poor, poor, Iceburg having to wade through all sorts of nonsense. ;):p:D Glad you're having fun with it. I wish I could get paid just to respond to all of the nonsense I see... I'd have 15 hour workday's again! Sometimes annoys me that I can't call someone out on some...

Remember guys, there is an ignore list as well... After reading JB's posts enough, JB got on mine about as fast as another former member well known to the FTA section.

Reasons I'll give for compression over hex but but probable not nearly a full list or completely accurate: Full contact with shield braid and foil Hex has 6 points of contact at best to the shield braid and foil, compression goes all the way round Better conductivity having more contact Less...

The only time I've pulled 2Edge channels reliably was VHF signals at 45 miles away. No amp at that time either. :eek: :D So I'd only bet on WWDP coming in reliably. And by reliably I mean 1-5 hiccups (audio drop-outs or bad pixels) per 10 mins. :rolleyes: Both of the amplifiers you were...

To answer your question as best I can: The Pre-amp will add less noise than a distibution amp to the recieved signal. Used at the antenna. The Distribution amp will amplify the signal more, adding more noise, but will cost less. My personal recommendation from your TVFool: Don't use an...

Sounds British/Euro-speak for a UHF-only antenna. When Europe moved to Digital-only in the form of DVB-T they made sure to go UHF-only. Every time I've ran across a "portable digital aerial", I saw a cheap whip antenna. Rubbish for picking up ATSC which NEEDS a directional antenna. Only...

I use two Hauppauge HVR-1600 PCI I have a AverTV Hybrid Bravo PCI-Ex 1x However I've had reliability problems with it and Windows Media Center 2005 recordings via the ATSC tuner. I'd definitely get the HVR-2250 if I needed it.

2 things I didn't get to in my last post They both focus around the Zenith DTV box 1. IME the Zenith signal meter is purely a Quality meter. If the subchannel is dropping out but other channels are not, the meter will bounce on the Zenith. What happened was the local that was carrying This TV...

Love the Digi antenna! Don't let your fears get the better of you. Looking at your TV Fool, 46.1/47 should be an easy job. I agree that you need to move the antenna about a bit first. First In My Experience, channels 45 and higher are fussy about antenna position. Second that bridge has me...

The word you are looking is multipath. And Doppler shift... Multipath is the ATSC-standard's crutch. Multipath interference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Phase_shift.svg" class="image"><img alt=""...

Your local ION station (69.1/17) will overload the amp, in my opinion.

Second the "bad advice" Also the 4228HD has rubbish VHF-Hi reception compared to the 4228. HDprimer temporary page partially blames this on the rubbish 300-to-75 transformer that is included.

All of the full power stations here in Portland have shutdown/switched with the exception of KOIN which will be in nightlight mode for 2 weeks. I watched the all but the last 2. KRCW did it while I was in messing with the Olevia HDTV. And I just barely missed KATU switching off by 5 mins. Most...

gotta link?

:yikes !sadroll :eek: :river :what :haha :rolleyes::neener

Sure, the Eugene DMA went all digital. I've had waiting for June to see what problems are coming with regards to multipath on a UHF-only for 8, 10 and 12. And Portlanders can thank Merideth (owners of 12 and 49) for the wait. :mad: Back on topic: The procrastinators will whine as usual, but the...
