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.

You might put one of these on a rotor and be happy?

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.

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.

I think you are clueless and need to get back on your meds - fast!

OTA broadcasters wanted digital broadcasts....for a better signal.

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.

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 ..

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.
