Thread: LCD to antenna

as far as i know, with most antenna's ur gonna get like 4 channels, and none of them are gonna be HD

The problem is not "receiving" the HD signals, the problem is decoding them. If your TUNER decodes HD, and your broadcast stations in your area (some in Los Angeles do) sends out HD, then you can get a HD signal, though, unless your LCD is HD capable, you won't notice any difference.

What the heck are you talking about with your DVD player.

You need to decide what you want to accomplish, and what you want to use, and you will know what it can do. No one can tell you if some device, which we have no idea about, will do what you want, expecially since you ,keep coming up wqith requirments of what you want it to do.

I have (2) 20" LCD screens that I want to connect multiple sources to (Satellite/Antenna, DVD, Computer, Game consoles,...)
I want to be able to select which source will go to each LCD. I figured I would need to spit the signals from each source into (2) seperate selectors, 1 for each LCD.

The selector must be able to take audio and video input from each source and output the video as VGA or component and the audio as composite L+R.

The video from the output of the "selector" will go to respective LCD. The audio will go to the respective sound system.

I guess the main problem is finding a device that will accomplish the source selecting... that is what I thought that tv tuner that FCS3 found could do.

I'm sure there is something that may work better, I just haven't found it yet.

So, tell me what is soo hard about this.

So tell me, how is the link I posted "going nowhere"

You asked for a way to switch your sources to the LCD. My link directed you to a device that does just that. So tell me, what is your problem now?? What an ungratefull noob you are.

you just need a home audio/video switcher...

HD cannot be viewed on the move, you might get a single station, but with the way digital signals interfere with themselves you will absolutely positively NOT be able to watch HD signal, antennas need to be highly directional to avoid noise and doubled images...

720p is not a DVD video signal, that is the output of a scaler... DVDs are 480i, using a flat panel (digital) requires that the 480i signal be upconverted to the native resolution of the panel... sending a 720p signal to a screen that is anything except 1280x720 means that you have to provide an additional level of conversion... so you will actually have the largest reduction in quality by sending the 720 signal...

hope this helps...
