Could we say these statistical muxes are dreaming about spreading a bandwith. These machines are not fast enough for real time in the last 4 years., the end...
It would help to know which cable box you have. If it's a Motorola DVR, there's a setting in the Setup menu which lets you center the picture. - Bob in...
Some folks here expressed an interest in following my progress towards setting up an amateur ATSC transmitter. I got the German transmitter gear last week and...
Very nice. I downloaded your bitstream, and it looks pretty good. Plays fine (with audio) with the VLC decoder. http://www.videolan.org There are some (7)...
... That was sent with their "auto" bitrate setting. I switched it over to manual at 4 MB/s for the 2nd YouTube transmission and to my eye it looks just as...
Heh, I tested the Samsung box with a direct connect and attenuators. I have a Sencore ATSC987 8-VSB modulator work. You would like my encoder, two programs...
... Hmm, how many of those are in/with English language programming? I would guess that of the approximately 50% non English all the time ota broadcasts, most...
One of the big questions I have in my mind is how many other amateurs have transmitted ATSC before me. I'm pretty confident that I'm not the first one to do...
This is the first report of "amateur" digital television that I know of. Not really ATSC, and with mostly commercial equipment. I believe they published an...
... There have been other hams that have used DVB-S, DVB-T and QAM here in North America too, but I'm specifically curious as to who else has used 8VSB before...
Nick, I hate to be pedantic, but transmitting to yourself doesn't count. You have to make a two-way contact to unequivocally say that you've "used" ATSC on ham...
... Fair enough. As soon as the amp gets here and I can make a non-trivial amount of power, I'll head for the mountain. :) Hopefully I'll get a chance to do a...
Well in the OLD days that would work. There are so many hyphenated Americans now that are either bi-lingual or English as second language that these stations...
... language that ... the other ... (Just one more point on this subject:) Most of the so called hyphenated Americans, who actually are Americans, from south...
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aw93dUvCSznc&refer=home Apparently the approval was unanimous. If this screws up my OTA reception, I'm...
So I'd like to know more specifics about measuring ATSC power levels. So far, I've simply been looking at signals with my SA. I can ask it to find the peak of...
... I may have found the answer to my own question: http://tinyurl.com/5utj5b One of the paragraphs in there says: MEASURING THE POWER OF THE PILOT: The...
In order to properly measure the transmitted power level as I understand it. You must put the transmitter output into a 50 ohm load (75 ohm if that is the...
You might try using a BW setting for the spectrum analyzer that is wider than the signal bandwidth. That way, all the power is captured by the spectrum...
On Monday, November 3, the FCC authorized a new technology for Digital Television, called DTS - Distributed Transmission Systems. The Report and Order was...
... I suppose smarter people than me have worked this out already, but one thing I'd think would be a problem with co-channel transmission is that even if you...
From the discussion I've been reading on the AVS Forum, DTS probably won't work well with older digital receivers, but the new ones that have greatly improved...
These are much like analog translators in that they are not meant to increase the coverage area only to fill in the areas within your market where the main...
Any tips on dressing the wires for a 300 to 75 ohm balun? The balun I am using just has 2 wires vs the type that has 300ohm twinlead. IE the wires coming out...
In theory, you'd want to cut the wires as short as possible, but in practice, they're already probably only 2 inches long as it is now. I wouldn't worry about...
