Digital Television

It probably would if there were no federal regulation against it. Turn the set-top box

over and look over the small data and information labels on the bottom. There you'll

see the statement that "this device complies with Part 15 of FCC regulations regarding

interference to other devices". That part of the FCC's regulations says that if you want

to sell your product in the US, you have to design it in a way that it's guaranteed not to

radiate anything that will affect radios, garage-doors, or TVs in the neighborhood.

A CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) is, essentially, a big glass bottle which has had all the air removed. The front is then coated with a "phosphor" material which glows when struck by fast-moving electrons. In a colour screen, there's actually three phosphors - one which glows red, one which glows green, and one blue (hence: RGB, or Red Green Blue). Immediately behind the phosphor coating, there's a grid - like a fine mesh - to ensure the electrons only hit specific parts of the screen (the pixels) and don't just splash around the place. Finally, at the back (neck) of the "tube", there's an electron "gun" (three, for colour screens - one for each colour), which "fires" electrons towards the screen. Powerful electromagnets steer each beam towards the correct phosphor dots. The image on the screen is built up line by line; so each colour beam starts at the top left corner, and "scans" across, firing whenever a coloured dot is required. When the end of the line is reached, the beam jumps back to the left hand side, of the second line down; the process is repeated until all of the "scan lines" are complete; then the whole process starts again. And that, basically, is how a CRT works.

how to convert the digital reveiver to mpeg4

The problem is in the instrument cluster. It needs to be checked out.

This is a very common problem with these cars as they age. I have seen a number of them where the odometer was blank and/or working intermittently together with the tachometer. The only reliable solution is to get a new one from a dealer.

not trying to make anybody mad but i have the same problem if you take out the cluster then pull off the cardboard from the back there is a small blue resistor it will have a burnt spot where they are you or some one you know could clean it and re solder the contacts i did it and it worked great now hardly any cost to you i hope this works for you Robert

A DC pass through will pass a DC voltage in only one direction. Bidirectional will let a DC voltage travel both directions.

Well, sweetie, 'television' is called 'TV' because it's short for 'tele-vision'. Tele meaning 'far' or 'distant', and vision meaning 'sight'. So, it's like saying 'far sight'. Pretty straightforward, right? Now go enjoy your TV time, darling.

Is the SLEEP TIMER set (on), or is it getting too hot? I mounted a small fan on the back of my flat screen to blow cool air into the vent holes.

The Model 6626LCT is digital ready, you do not need to buy a digital box as there is one built inside the television. The Digital Tuner inside the TV is ATSC which means all you need is a Digital Ready Aerial. Roof-mounted or Set-top. All you need to worry about after that is if your aerial will give you a good picture.

One more thing, it will take you a while to install the channels onto your tv as there are hundreds of channels including radio.


I hope this answer has been of much use.

Go to Variety in the Menu and look for "Sounds of the Season". It's above Soundscapes. Kind of a pain to find.

Any television you buy new will come with a digital tuner.It's now required by the FCC.If you buy a second hand tv it probably won't have one,but if you have cable you're okay.

All HD broadcasts are digital. Not all digital broadcasts are HD.

"Digital" is simply a way of coding TV pictures onto a radio wave so that your TV can receive the radio wave and turn it back into a TV picture. The old method was called "analog."

Digital is more efficient than analog and allows a lot more information to be carried on the radio wave. Since the wave can now carry more information, some TV stations are choosing to use that extra information for a high definition (HD) picture rather than a standard definition (SD) picture. In fact, there is so much extra room with a digital signal that most TV stations can now show several different programs at once! Most channels will now have several sub-channels. For example, instead of having just Channel 7, you might have Channel 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and so on -- each with a different program.

An HD signal takes up a lot of room, so TV stations that broadcast an HD signal have less room to add additional sub-channels.

What is happening with the digital transition is that all analog TV broadcasts will be turned off. Only digital broadcasts will remain on the air. Each TV station decides what it will do with its digital signal. It can use the digital signal to broadcast one HD sub-channel and a few SD sub-channels or it can broadcast a lot of digital SD sub-channels. Most TV stations will choose to broadcast at least one HD sub-channel.

Analog television services are the traditional format for television broadcast. Antenna based or terrestrial broadcasts have used analog signals since the advent of television. In most analog transmissions, the signal is delivered as it is created. The signal may well pass through a long chain of equipment from the camera to the transmitter and then to a television but the signal is not stored at any point. The picture is seen virtually at the same time as it was created.

Digital transmission (Cable, satellite and digital terrestrial) don't have the same restriction. Before the signal is broadcast it is compressed to reduce the amount of bandwidth required. The compression process can add a second or two. When the digital television receiver decodes the signal to its uncompressed form, that too will add a second or more.

Finally, signals are routed through a variety of connections from the studio to transmission control centers and then to the transmitters. The signal is divided into packets of a few frames. As with the Internet, some of these packets can be delayed and arrive later than the other packets around them. By storing the packets for a small amount of time, delayed packets are given the chance to catch up. This adds another delay to the image.

The end result is that the digital signal will always be later than the analog equivalent. As long as we see a complete television program, we are none the wiser. It is only when we watch the same program on analog and digital services at the same time do we realize that there is a delay. Although the delay is of no consequence, it does mean that we now see nothing that is truly live. It's worth remembering that when you see a touch down at the next "live" broadcast of the Superbowl , it's already history!

No. Ideas/concepts do not qualify for copyright protection only the physical expression of those ideas are covered.

This is from the US Copyright Office FAQ (see link below)

"Copyright does not protect ideas, concepts, systems, or methods of doing something. You may express your ideas in writing or drawings and claim copyright in your description, but be aware that copyright will not protect the idea itself as revealed in your written or artistic work" Yes, They have A name for it, I can't think of the name, But it has to do with, 'You thought it up, so you own it' Not those words, just that sentiment.

This is what worked for me: Manual Code Search and Entry 1. Manually turn on the TV

2. Press and hold the TV button The illuminated ON•OFF key turns on and remains on.

3. While holding the component key down, press and hold the ON•OFF key. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.

4. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns back on.

5. Release both keys. The illuminated ON•OFF key remains on. TIP: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently programming the remote to control.

6. Press and release the ON•OFF key repeatedly until your component turns off. Each time you press the ON•OFF key, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks, and the next

code in the list is sent. This process continues until all of the codes in the Code Lists have been searched. If your component turns off, you have found the correct code.

TIP: Because there are so many codes, you may have to press the ON•OFF key many times-possibly up to 200 times.

7. Once you have found the correct code, you must save the new code by pressing and releasing the STOP key. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns off. You must press the STOP key to save the code or the correct code will not be stored!

8. To confirm that the component key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, test the component. Attempt to control a variety of the component's functions with the remote. If some of the features of your components do not work, try programming the remote with a different code in the list until you find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of your component's functions. Different codes can provide different levels of functionality. Good Luck Jack

In Europe, television signals are broadcast at 50 fields per second, hence the native frequency of 50Hz. Televisions that offer 100Hz and 200Hz use a technique called interpolation to calculate what the picture would be like if there was one between the frames that are actually broadcast. (Note that in North America, the native frequency is 60Hz so the frequencies will be 60, 120 and 240Hz there.)

The aim of the interpolation (or frame doubling) is to create smoother movement than with a 50 or 60Hz display. In practice, the improvement is not huge and in some cases, temporal interpolation can cause unwanted effects that weren't in the original signal. Some manufacturers do it better than others and all of them handle certain types of program better than others. To offer a suggestion about the right model to buy would ignore the range of performances that can be seen for different televisions and different content.

The best advice is to make a short list of models based on the overall specification of size, inputs, in-built tuners and so on. Then get to a store and watch each of them with the program type that you will be watching. (don't be satisfied with manufacturers' demonstration programs). The best model to buy is the one that looks best. After all, you are buying it to watch, so make it one that you enjoy watching.

You don't have to pay for the airwaves. They are free. You just have to purchase receiver and a dish network. and never have a bill again.

No, you do not need a digital converter box to use a DVD Player, all you need is a TV.

POLAROID, no longer in the camera business, makes their own sets.The reviews indicate they are reliable, and their service department is the best. I've a 2 year old 32" which has been OK. Good pic, sound is the best as it's level is consistent.

The term Flip-Top Box was used in advertising for cigarettes. It referred to the box that some brands of cigarettes came in with a lid that flipped back. They supposedly kept the tobcco safer because the box was 'crush proof' and it sealed the cigarettes away from the air unlike an opened softpack.
