  1. Antenna Research & Development
    Hello! After reading about Gray-Hoverman style antennas and how to do antenna simulation through NEC on this website, I came up with a design and DIY build instructions for a bi-directional ATSC antenna of my own that I want to share. I tried to make it so that the parts and tools required to...

    I have two HDTC-2US networked ATSC tuners. One is new-in-box, the other box was opened to test out the unit. I bought them a while back to upgrade my older HDHomeRun units, but then ended up going with a TiVo Roamio for over-the-air viewing instead. See here for product details: HDTC-2US -...
  4. Rogers Cable TV
    Does anyone know if rogers actually transmits a digital signal that can be decoded using a typical tv's built in atsc digital tuner? A friend tells me they do, I didn't think this was the case. Simply looking for verification. Thanks
  5. Industry News
    If you're currently in the market for a high definition television (HDTV) then you've probably have learned that most digital televisions sold today come equipped with three types of tuners: ATSC, NTSC and QAM. This inevitably leads to the question of why we need three different tuners in our...
  6. A/V Receivers and Amplifiers
    My Denon receiver (4308CI) has gone again (second time in 6 months) so I'm looking to replace it. But since I have gone OTA I want a receiver that can tune my ATSC HD feed (so I don't have to keep switching inputs on the TV) In addition, the receiver needs to support digital audio to the zone...

  8. Home Theatre Personal Computer & Media Extenders
    Hi All, I have recently upgraded my Vista 64-bit Media Center to Windows 7 Media Center, also 64-bit. Ever since I changed the OS, my Hauppauge ATSC tuners would at times inexplicably shut off. Generally, I have my Digital Signal Strength Indicators (wintv_sigmon.exe) turned on for both tuners...

    The Advanced Television Systems Committee announced last Friday its approval of the (ATSC) A/153 ATSC Mobile DTV Standard, the technical specifications necessary for broadcasters to provide new services to mobile and handheld devices using their digital television (DTV) transmissions. The...
  10. Over-The-Air (OTA) Digital Television
    I stumbled across this HD tuner that might be of interest up north. It is distrubuted through Centronics and sold through Solid Signal (probably others) for only $50 US which is close to the price for one of our CEBC's with the coupon. The orginal list was $230 and now it's $150. Features; 1...

  12. OTA en français
    Si je désire capter SRC HD à partir de Québec: Est-ce que j'ai besoin d'une antenne spéciale (Radio Shack me dit que j'ai besoin d'une antenne qui capte le HD de 70$) ou des oreilles de lapin ordinaire ça fonctionne ? À quelle poste je dois mettre la TV ? Merci
  13. Over-The-Air (OTA) Digital Television
    I would like to know what the real differences are between ATSC and DVB-T. DVB-T is the standard adopted by Europe and Asia (and perhaps other places as well?) for Digital OTA broadcasting, while ATSC is used in North America (and Japan ?) I came back from Europe and was amazed by the number of...
  14. OTA Station & Network Operational Status
    It's interesting that Rogers is applying for two out-of-town DTV signals, and no sign of when CHRO-DT, which is local to Ottawa, will build their DTV transmitter. Rogers built a large media complex a few years ago in the Byward Market, two blocks from our place, and I have to wonder whether or...
  15. OTA Station & Network Operational Status
    The countdown to local OTA in the South Coast area of BC is now centered around CBC DT 58 going live up top of Mount Seymour some time in 2005. No word on CTV, Global, CH, CITY, VI, or others lately. I've been doing some research and have been getting feedback on a different web forum...
