Thread: How many of you know this fact about HDTV?

I used to work at circuit city, and most customers did not know this fact.

A lot of people using MythTV (Linux based PVR software) are doing this right now. All you need is an OTA tuner card and your pc can pick it up too. This should technically work in the car if you weren't moving, but may work in motion.

I've plugged rabbit ears into my SDTV and managed to pull down a few digital signals.

I'm guessing that many people saw home improvement type shows in the early HDTV period, and they always installed some 'HDTV Antenna' to go with a new HDTV.

Since all the Push to Digital, I get more OTA channles then I was ever used to, adn the pictuer is 100X better, only thing is I don't watch local channles

Yes indeed. Also ota digital signals are not compressed as some providers do. The reception is great! I use the On Air GT by Autumn wave, which eliminates multipathing problems.

This should technically work in the car if you weren't moving, but may work in motion.

I have tryed a lot of different things with this. Yes while the car is moving the signal fades in and out, but is not like an analog signal. The picture is there, or it is not there. So when the car moves and goes around turns and such the path to the receiving antenna is easily obstructed (depending on what type of antenna you use). This could be fixed pretty simply, by using a more ... Omnidirectional? antenna. Or some maybe slightly heliocentric. Basically as the car moves in different directions the signal is never outta sight. Anyway, HD rocks! DONT watch tv and drive!
