I've told my Dad on no fewer than 3 separate occasions that his ginormous aerial antenna is going to be a relic come winter. Does he care? Nope.]]>Jul 29th 2008 10:41AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/Jul 29th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/Jul 29th 2008 10:23AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/Jul 29th 2008 10:25AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/Jul 30th 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/Jul 29th 2008 10:33AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/
actually, your dad will be a power Digi tv user with his ginormous aerial antenna. As long as its steerable, it will work perfectly for OTA digital tv broadcast, he most likely will be able to pick up way way way more stations than before and from markets further away.....Digit broadcast reception uses the same tech as current, mainly UHF, but also some VHF. If he doesnt have a digital tv he will need a set top box however. ]]>Jul 29th 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/Jul 29th 2008 8:31PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/Jul 29th 2008 10:27PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/Aug 5th 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/Aug 8th 2008 12:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/29/seattles-king-5-shuts-of-analog-for-30-seconds-select-viewers/
The truth is if you receive a marginal, or even a slightly degraded analog signal now, you can probably pretty much forget about receiving any digital signal at all come 2009. Unlike analog reception, which will tolerate slight fading or a snowy picture that will still be watchable, digital is a all-or-nothing situation, you either get a clear signal, or you get squat. Oh, I almost forgot, I do receive all four digital channels from channel 45, they broadcast from up on Tiger Mountain, and have a viewable digital signal up here, so there really is no excuse the other Seattle stations did not plan properly in order to get their digital signals into fringe areas where analog now works. Come 2009, when analog is gone in the US, guess I'll be watching a lot more Canadian analog TV, they don't plan to switch off their analog signals until 2011...]]>Aug 24th 2008 3:53PM
