Frequently Asked Questions

Will my local TV stations stop broadcasting analog signals any time soon?

HDTV - Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)
Yes. The FCC has set a deadline for television stations to stop broadcasting their over-the-air VHF/UHF signals: either January 1, 2007 or when 85 percent of U.S. households have a TV with a digital tuner, whichever comes last. But that date is largely viewed as untenable, and legislators are proposing moving it back two years, making the last day of 2008 the official "switch off" for analog television broadcasts.

Can HD Radio Stations broadcast both digital and analog signals?

Frequently Asked Questions FAQs
Yes, VPR's HD radio stations will broadcast both digital and traditional analog signals.

The stations will seamlessly upgrade to digital when it locks onto a strong digital signal.

In the AM broadcasting band, I hear different stations at the same time. Is this normal ?

Alinco Electronics
Thanks to the internal ferrite bar antenna and its high sensitivity, DJ-X2 receives AM radio very fine. However, due to the nature of scanner (not like a simple AM transistor radio that receives AM/FM only) circuit design, it is inevitable that you may encounter such interference. Please disconnect the external antennas, use internal bar-antenna mode and ACTIVATE the attenuator. This would allow you more comfortable AM reception.

All of the local TV stations just went blank on my satellite dish. What happened?

Reception FAQs - FOX6 San Diego
There are are just a few reasons why you might experience a complete loss of signal besides the obvious, "Your puppy just chewed through the cable." In a torrential downpour of rain, you could experience loss of the signal due to the fact that the large droplets of rain absorb much of the satellite beam. Also, twice a year, the sun lines up with the satellite in such a way that the sun overpowers your satellite receiver with radio signals.

What is the difference between digital and analog signals for speakers?

Lowyat.NET -> FAQ for Edifier Speakers
Analog signals are recorded in their original form, for example, recording to a tape. Analog signals can be read and amplified, but can also be damaged by the environment, and degraded with ancillary equipment which reduces sound quality. Digital signals are recorded in binary code (numbers that consist of only 0 and 1) and reproduce at the source, and this is one reason the signal can't be damaged or degraded.

Why do TV stations air VNRs?

Still Not the News: Frequently Asked Questions | Center for ...
VNRs have become standard TV newsroom fare over the past two decades, in large part because increased economic and profit pressures on TV stations have led to reductions in newsroom staff and budgets. Under these circumstances, it is difficult for stations to fill news programs with their own material. These trends have been documented by academic researchers, Nielsen media surveys, and the Project for Excellence in Journalism's annual "State of the News Media" reports.

What are the benefits of 4-20 mA analog signals?

Frequenctly Asked Questions
The old 10-50 mA standard lost the battle to 4-20 mA due to the following benefits: 1) The same two-wires carry both the sensor power and signal, 2) 4-20 mA is easily converted to a 1-5 VDC input via a 250 Ohm, _ Watt resistor or 1-10 VDC input via a 500 Ohm, _ Watt resistor, 3) 4-20 mA is low current and therefore has a low heating loss through the signal wire, and 4) with shielded cable, 4-20 mA is noise resistant to radiated and inducted interference.

What's wrong with TV stations airing VNRs?

Still Not the News: Frequently Asked Questions | Center for ...
VNRs are produced by public relations firms to insert their clients' messages into TV newscasts. As the Center for Media and Democracy's (CMD's) two VNR reports show, this client-driven process results in the production of VNRs with little or no real news value, the incorporation of misleading or wrong information into VNRs, and the exclusion of important, relevant information that challenges or weakens clients' messages.

Why don't most TV stations disclose when they air VNRs?

Still Not the News: Frequently Asked Questions | Center for ...
This question can only be fully answered by the TV stations themselves. Many stations cited in the "Fake TV News" report said that mistakes or confusion led to their airing VNRs without disclosure.
