How about TV manufactures building compatible tuners for cable,dish,and OTA? That way if the TV tuner dies you fix or replace the whole combo. Oh wait that has...
The best thing about cablecards is that it has the potential for 3rd parties to offer their own cable STBs and/or DVRs. We're already seeing TVs with...
The concept is called "open cable". The main push is for DVRs/PVRs that are cablecard and/or ATSC compatible. Sony has a model out and Tivo is developing one. ...
I have had over the weekend, 876 INHD and 846 saying channel will be available shortly.. (876 just never shows up, and I have to goto 877 (inhd2) actually), ...
No problems for me either out of the Stone Mountain headend. Sounds like the type of thing you might expect to see if there is a signal strength issue. Perhaps...
... They may love it now, but they won't for long. The FCC mandate is that the card provide decryption functions only, and that as of a certain date (2006 I...

Bill, I thought maybe you knew something I did not and could educate me. Or else someone who does might chime in on the topic. I felt the posting implied...
According to FCC records, the maximum effective radiated power for analog TV stations is 100 KW for channels 2-6, 316 KW for channels 7-13, and 5,000 KW for...
Great post John. This is what this site is all about! I wonder how more power would affect my reception. In total calm weather, day or night, winter or...
CB, I misunderstood your post. Sorry if I got defensive. I'm very glad that John cleared things up about the FCC maximum. I don't know if I would have ever...
... Yes, I don't think there's a mandate for the one-way card. They would break the existing STBs. BTW, my source for this is the Wall St Journal. There was...
Bottom line is that with Comcast in Atlanta there's really no reason to worry about whether a new TV has a cable card slot or not, at least for me. ... From:...
The reception problem in windy weather might be that your antenna is constantly moving. I have my antenna securely guyed so that it is relatively stationary...
Group: I am contemplating a DVD player updgrade to one of the units that can "up-rev" quality from the std 480i to (even) 1080i. I have also seen the pro-con...

I have 2 Samsungs, an 841 and 931. Love them both. I would spend the extra and get a 941 (HDMI vs DVI for the 931) though, a little better picture then the 841...
I'd wait a few more months and just get the HD DVD players. Everything "I've read" says the up-converts aren't all that, just a gimmick from the manufacturers...
Having actually used 2 upconverting players I can say that on my DLP it is not 'just a gimmick'. Using DVI/HDMI and de-interlacing / scalling without a...
I use mediacenter to upconvert everything to 1080i (1920x1080) and it definitely looks better. Worth it, IMO. Having it on a PC gives me almost endless...
I think the question here is, do any of us REALLY know what TRUE 1080i looks like? the world is made of boxes and upconverters. my friend was all excited...
I dunno, but I would think that big composite "TV" in the back of the North Point Best Buy is running at full 1080i. It shows obviously much more detail than...
... CB, In your case it is an obstructed receive path and multipath that is the problem. More power would not help the local viewers, it will just make the...
Yes, they feed the TV's from a DVD, most of them are either composite or component video feeds - so no, you aren't seeing 1080i. But it looks nice no? What I...
I think cable card is a computer itself with its own CPU and memory, not just a dumb silicon. It has to handle descryption functions which are pretty...
