    will HDTV be free after the analog cutoff

    You have to think long term. Sure some of the low grade broadcast channels are going to cram as much into that digital stream as they can, but the reality is that the major networks (CBS, NBC, ABC) are headed rapidly to all HD, and as more and more HD sets are sold, the pressure will build and...

    will HDTV be free after the analog cutoff

    Like any commodity, as the newness wears off and the product becomes commonplace, HD programming will replace SD and that is all you will get. It takes time. Pressure will increase on cable and satellite to offer more and more HD, and at less and less cost, as the telcos begin rolling out...

    What is the wattage cutoff to be qualified as full power station

    Iceberg, I'm not sure there is a power cutoff, although I am sure there are others better qualified to comment. From what I understand, the FCC has set certain rules in place for a licensee to hold a Class-A or lower license. Some of the requirements would be, broadcast a certain number of...

    Surge Suppression and Power Condtioning

    Found the product by searching for a 2.2GHz satellite surge suppressor. This is the only product the search produced, that's why I asked if anyone had found other products. The company making the DLPS-SAT1 is Cable Innovations in Lawrenceville, GA. http://www.cableinnovations.com...

    Surge Suppression and Power Condtioning

    Red hazard - that's a nice looking product, first time I've seen one of that make. I agree with you, my intent was to put one on both ends of the cable, and preferrably one in combination with a ground block. It never made much sense to me to put the suppressor on the POS of the cable and then...

    Surge Suppression and Power Condtioning

    Gotta say I am disappointed with the number of replies to this thread. I honestly was curious what people were using, and specifically I was interested in the in-line surgenders. I guess if its not a thread to complain and rant, then the regulars are just not interested. Sure, some will say...

    Surge Suppression and Power Condtioning

    That sounds like a nice system Daddyad. So when you say it had a horrible affect on your stereo's audio range, what do you mean exactly? Are you saying it clipped the dynamic range, or cut off part of the frequency range? I realize audio imaging is a very hard thing to define, but I am...

    Surge Suppression and Power Condtioning

    Surge Suppression and Power Conditioning What is everyone doing for surge suppression and possibly power conditioning? I know this topic has been beaten to death from time to time, but I'm curious what everyone is doing if anything, in these two areas. Just got a ZeroSurge 8R15TWR myself...

    Starting from scratch almost (long)

    The only way to get the US nets in HD other than OTA is using the Canadian satellite service Bell ExpressVu. You can get CBS in HD through D* & E* if you qualify, but that's the only net available at this time. ExpressVu (BEV) uses E* equipment, but they are not interchangable. Requires...

    would you subscribe to a programming package where you picked every channel?

    You bet I would! It's about time that we should all push for selecting individual channels rather than having to pick from bulk packages. One reason is that it would cause a shake out in channels, with many falling to the wayside. This is not a bad thing. Our programming options are so...
