In Reply to: Re: HDTV Digital to analog converters exist? posted by Kent Adams on November 14, 2001 at 02:08:18:
Kent,Would you say the digital signal converted to analog is a better signal then normal analog signal or cable analog signal? When I tried digital cable service it worked great but didn't carry local channels.
Thanks

Absolutely! It is the real deal...It is a pure digital picture with no noise or grain. Digital cable is fine on the upper channels but the lower ones are not changed. Even the upper channels suffer from lack of resolution.(flat looking) The satelite providers are compressing their digital signal which degrades some of thier pictures. OTA digital is as good as it gets. Even though you do not have HD you could upgrade all your local channels with OTA. That is providing they are transmitting digitally which they are mandated to do in the near future. It is not the analog signal that is the culprit...it is the source of the signal that degrades it. If you are able to pull in a signal & have a HD STB...you will improve your picture dramatically unless you are one of the lucky ones who already have a great cable picture.
Kent,Would you say the picture is so good, it justifies getting a component video out? For example my dvd player, moving from S-video to component was worth while ($20 in DIY cable). But it was only a slight difference in picture. Enough that I noticed, my wife didn't.
$600-$1000 dollars...I can hardly justify that to see local channels in converted digital format. It is only $20/month to get local channels on cable.
Figuring straight analog antenna is 1 out of 10
Cable is 6 out of 10
Digital signal is 8 out of 10
HDTV with digital is 10 out of 10Now if it was only around $300 that would pay for itself in a little over a year.
Does there exist an HDTV reciever for only UFH antenna's or all they all satillite recievers also?
