The Freeview digital signal is already available in most of the Bridgend area, dropping off north of the M4 motorway. If you live outside the area covered by Freeview, you can still receive the Free channels via Sky FreeSat. Only a Sky receiver and dish is required, as there is no monthly subscription to receive the FreeSat channels.

Sky analogue services will be switched off in May 2001 - so you should upgrade soon! For terrestrial, in the north it will be 2006, in the south, about 2010. NTL and Chorus have yet to announce switch off dates for analogue cable and MMDS systems.

Analogue is the way that we have received television signals since television began. The digital signal can carry much more information than analogue resulting in DVD picture quality plus the sound being of CD quality. It also allows broadcasters to offer a range of new and different services.

Difficult to say, but Sky won't persuade 6 million existing subscribers to convert to Digital satellite with all it entails overnight. Sky hasn't made a formal statement on this, but pessimistic estimates say at least 5 years, but it will more probably be in excess of 10. It will most probably be that newer channels will begin on digital, leaving the existing analogue offerings fairly stagnant. Bavaria Satellite cannot be held responsible for any actions you take as result of reading this guide.

DTV is transmitted as data bits of information, the signal is basically "on" or "off". In other words, the intent of DTV technology is that the viewer either sees an image or nothing at all. There is no gradual signal loss as distance from the transmitter increases. In analogue world, viewer will be expecting ghosting, snowy picture from degraded analogue TV signal.

It will be able to display digital pictures by connecting it to a digital decoder. Affordable set-top-boxes designed to receive free-to-air services are becoming widely available.

Free-to-air broadcasters will simulcast (i.e., broadcast both analogue and digital signals) for at least eight years, so viewers will continue to be able to use current analogue television sets to receive broadcasts direct until at least the end of 2010. And, beyond the end of simulcasting, the addition of a digital-to-analogue converter in the form of a set-top box will allow viewers to continue indefinitely to display digital transmissions on the screens of their analogue sets.

With digital transmissions the same pictures that are received in Melita???s professionally designed and equipped technical centre are recreated in your own home in the digital set top box without suffering any of the degradation in signals along the cabling and equipment used to bring signals to your home.

Not necessary. The quality of digital TV depends on how much bandwidth the broadcaster willing to pay. Some high-end analogue TV has comb filter which can increase the frequency response to show very fine details. If an analogue TV has strong signal and well tune, it has better picture quality than digital.

Basically yes, although many new TV purchasers are opting to upgrade to a widescreen television to enjoy Digital transmissions to their full effect

The difference between HDTV picture quality and conventional analogue TV/ SDTV quality is immediately noticeable. You will see details that you have never seen before on a television. When watching sports, you can have a wider view of the football field, subtle detail and movement of the players even on a wide shot Television images are divided into horizontal lines. With more lines, better picture quality is displayed. Regular televisions display a maximum of 576 interlaced lines at a time.

Tune to Channel 25, that???s the Channel number KMSB has been assigned to relay its Digital TV signal. As part of setting up your new Digital TV, you can set the dial so that Channel 25 actually shows up as Channel 11 on your set.

No ? Mr Antenna still supplies and installs the best quality analogue antenna systems available.

Yes, Mr Antenna technicians can certainly assist in the installation of your new TV and Home Entertainment system. Customers are advised to call 13 11 49 to arrange for a free quotation.

Yes, although analogue transmissions are being gradually replaced all over the world by digital transmissions. Melita has invested in providing a state of the art platform for all its clients to avail themselves of the choice of digital transmission, which allows for additional channels with improved audio and video characteristics. Melita subscribers can retain an analogue service as an additional outlet to the digital service.

Analogue TV is transmitted in a manner similar to FM radio, through a cable or over the air. That is the reason why it maybe subject to interference, such as ghosting and snow, depending on the distance and location of the TV receiving the signal. In Europe, the analogue TV standards are referred to as PAL and SECAM. Digital TV, or DTV, is transmitted as data bits of information, just as the way music is written on a CD.

The Government has stated that analogue broadcasts will be fully switched to digital when two criteria - relating to availability and affordability have been met. Under the availability criteria, all viewers who can receive analogue television now (99.

You may have read about a technique called "the Weller Method" of tornado detection. The idea was to be able to use your TV as a lightning detector to detect the radio waves emitted by a lightning flash, with the assumption that tornadic thunderstorms were very active lightning producers. But, not all tornadic storms produce large amounts of lightning. And, TV's are all different and have different sensitivities, and some are even made to filter out lightning signals.

Call us. When in doubt about getting your television signals repaired, contact AFN Europe, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at DSN 389-4444 or commercial 0621-46085444.

A - You connect it to the SCART input using a SCART cable with RCA inputs, basically you use the same cable used to connect a video camera to your TV.

Yes. Have an additional line run to each TV that you want to receive the signal from the DIRECTV System receiver. This allows you to watch the same satellite programming on as many sets as you want. If you would like to be able to watch individual programming on each TV, you will need a dish with multiple outputs. A DIRECTV receiver and cable feed is required for each TV you would like to receive programming on.

It is likely that the output from the VTX-D800U and the input type selected on the TV are not the same (e.g., the VTX-D800U may be set to output Y/C and your TV set to RGB or PAL). Change the setting on either the TV or the VTX-D800U to ensure they are the same.

There is no right to good reception and in many cases it is possible to resolve issues of poor reception involving trees by finding an engineering solution. We will only consider requests to prune trees to improve reception where all the following conditions are true: The work required is consistent with good arboricultural practice and will not unduly affect the amenity or health of the tree

switched-on is an initiative from BT in consultation with the telecommunications industry and with input from Ofcom, the communications regulator. We are undertaking a campaign of public information to make residential and business customers across the UK completely aware of the future benefits of the migration to BT's next-generation network as well as the potential interruptions and changes to their services.

Yes, but only if their satellite signal is being broadcast through a satellite “set top box”. They would then connect their set-top box to the iCEBOX.

RGsB: This interface includes Red, combined Green + sync and Blue signals All of those RGB interfaces are in quite wide uses and the signals can be converterd from one format to antoher using suitable electronics. Apart from that there are some variations of those interfaces which differentiate in the level of sync signal used (TTL level, 0.7Vpp or 0.3Vpp).

Good question. Although many TVs claim to be "HDTV compatible," that does not necessarily mean they can accurately display a 1080i or 720p broadcast. This depends on the native resolution of the display itself. For example, you can buy a $3,000 plasma TV that is described as HDTV compatible, but the native resolution of the screen is only 852 x 480.

Do these antenna recommendations take terrain into account? I live in a mountainous area and reception can be difficult.
