Apesbrain asked:


My current HDTV has two RF inputs: one for “off-the-air” antenna and the other for cable. Both inputs support either digital or analog signal and the TV has both ATSC and NTSC tuners. I’d like to upgrade to a new HDTV, but have to address the fact that, while it has both a digital and an analog tuner, it has only one RF input. I know I could hook up an A/B switch to manually choose between my rooftop antenna for HDTV and my analog cable feed, but that would be a hassle.

What would happen if I combined the two RF inputs into a common cable — a reverse splitter if you will — and fed it into the single RF? Would the TV be able to “uncombine” the signal and see both the OTA digital and analog cable signals separately?

Thanks.
Routing the antenna through the VCR would mean using the VCR internal tuner and it can’t receive off-the-air DTV.

Thanks for your replies. You’re right about the option of connecting the _analog_ via the VCR. I found a new TV that has both air and cable RF inputs, so hopefully the problem will be avoided.

I currently have basic cable through Time Warner. I recently bought an HDTV with a built in ATSC tuner. Yesterday I went and got an antenna for off-air HDTV. However, my tv only has one port to hook in a cable plug. Either I have to unplug my cable to get the antenna hooked into the tv, which means I don’t get my cable channels, or vice versa.

Do I need a splitter, or how do I go about using my analog cable, and hooking up my new antenna for over the air HDTV?

If you use an antenna what kind do you use? Is an outdoor antenna better than an indoor antenna? I used a normal indoor antenna and all I can get is just ABC HD. You can get all of the local channels in HD, right? I need help on this, thanks. Oh, and my HDTV has an ATSC tuner.

This is the TV:-

Saturn 5 asked:


I am looking for a comprehensive listing of the new HDTV channels and the corresponding frequencies of each.

Are they all grouped in one large chunk of the spectrum, or are there multiple “bands” such as we now have with the NTSC broadcast channels?

Do all of the ATSC broadcast channels have the same bandwidth, or are there variations to allow for different content, complexity and / or quality?

Will some of the current frequencies be re-assigned to the new ATSC channels?

Thanks for your help.

aconegliano asked:


I just bought a 32′ Sharp Aquos from ebay and it says it has the NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuners built in. But it also says on the auction that its hd-ready. I thought that the tuners make it HD built in. On the manufacturers page it doesnt say built in or hd ready. Which one is it and can someone explain why?
