DTV question

[Red Squirrel]

I think this is US only, so don't think we're affected.

Who cares? There's nothing on TV worth watching.

I have one tv that's not compatible, but it's my bedroom tv and I only use it for watching dvds on for the most part.

The UHF to VHF switch of some local channels for me has made me lose a few channels.

VHF to UHF switch of many others has me gaining channels. I win.

Ok so OTA = Over the Air, so how does that = ATSC

I don't get it

As sdifox said, ATSC is the digital standard for OTA broadcasts in the U.S. As to the device I'm using as a DVR, it's this thing http://www.dtvpal.com/ I even get a7 days of TV Guide data, as long as I can receive a signal from certain CBS or PBS stations that support that feature; otherwise, it makes a guide based on the PSIP data broadcast by individual stations (usally 2-24 hours worth of programming data).

I didn't need an acronym lesson. I think it's funny how many use niche market ones in a general forum so often.

Congratulations, you're a moron.

You are on a tech forum. ATSC is not exactly news you know...

TV is for stupid people. I don't own one. Also this transition isn't happening in my country, but I thought I'd chime in anyway.

So if you live in New Zealand do you still refer to yourselves as Aussies?

I was in Australia for awhile and wanted to go to New Zealand for a couple of weeks. I went to three different travel agencies and they all asked me the same thing.

"What the hell you do you want to go there for? It full of nothing but steers and queers".


So can we assume you latter? Because I have never come across steer with an internet connection let alone one that could type.
