It is cheaper to broadcast in ASTC format...cheaper means cost to broadcasters' transmitters. OTA Broadcasters years ago were telling Congress they were loosing their butts to Cable....so, they needed a better picture quality format....digital was the solution. Yes, Zenith and MIT have both made a bundle, along with others...but Congress/FCC authorized the digital switch in order to have a better picture quality for OTA broadcasters. ASTC reception works fine...you just need a sixth generation or so ATSC tuner in your HDTV set.....its true, its all or nothing...but I live out in boonies, and reception has always sucked, unless you have a tall tower. |

The post in the precisenetworking link was giving ASTC a bad rep and sayin congress caused the FCC to opt that in for more eclectronic manufacturing in the US and not because it was better. Sac could the converter box from digital to analog solve the NTSC problem on the Pansat 2700a? It now will only run NTSC OR PAL. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATSC Well I appreciate the reply but while I was waiting a responce and practicing my spelling,I acquired a dtv converter box just for testing ! It does wonders for the vhs but I'm scared to plug in the Pansat 2700a as the Sat box sends voltage through the coax to the lnb. This voltage may bite my little box as I understand the converter must be between the lnb and the sat box for the conversion! Any info on how to make it work would be greatly appreciated! Maybe just put the $10.00 worth of parts inside the pansat at some point where it will only be affected by the IF? TIA |

I'm afraid that if the over-the-air stations were looking for a
salution to better broacast and be competitve with cable and satellite then ATSC has almost shut them down and driven the over-the-air (free local viewers) to subscribe to either cable or sat! I think the Governments influence for digital was for capital gain since they now are pushing the sat tax. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ |

ATSC works fine for me...and I tune in two distant stations, btw. You do need to get the right antenna, if you can receive them in your area.

TIA- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - UPDATE UPDATE Well I just thought about it a minute. Now I must get another digital convertor. Go inside it and make a trace cut and solder in 2 diodes.1 preventing the current from getting to the converter board and a second to allow the output voltage to bypass the circuit board. That a bunch for uclans perfect instructions and Jab trever marshals dish mod with give a tremendous db gain over the mesh type arials! Seems the solid metal reflecter surface gathers lots more signal and sends it to a focal point,where it is received by the modified lnb that sends this concentrated signal to your tv! Thanks goes to Uclan once again his genous has overwhelmed .. |

Thanks again UCLAN!
My mind works on salutions not on grammer ,but thanks to your hangup people will not have to decipher my post for themselves! Thanks a bunch for Uclans perfect instructions . Jab Trever Marshals dish mod will give a tremendous db gain over the mesh type arials! When RF current hits an object it causes the objects atoms to act like a magnet! The better conductivity and less resitance to electric current it has, the better the collector/reflector. The solid metal dish will out perform a solid fiber glass dish of the same size because of its conductivity and the magnetic field that it produces is much greater than both the fiber glass and the bow tie antenna, because of the metalic surface area, thus making a small meshed dish better than a large meshed dish. |
