Why is there a difference between dc pass through and bidirectional with coaxial splitters?
A DC pass through will pass a DC voltage in only one direction. Bidirectional will let a DC voltage travel both directions.
Why are some converter boxes some cheap some expensive?
A Digital Television (DTV) Converter Box is an electronic device that converts the new free over-the-air digital signal into an analog signal viewable on older "analog" television set. The digital to analog converter box connects your antenna or rabbit ears to your TV set. It will allow you to continue watching TV after February 17, 2009, the day the transition to "all digital" takes place. A digital to analog converter box will not give you a digital picture on an analog TV set. Analog TV sets using the set top boxes will show digital broadcasts, but not in the full picture quality of digital TV. However, your picture will be better than it was with the old analog signal. Technically speaking about picture quality: The reason the picture quality won't be as good on an analog TV set is because of the display resolution. Analog TV screens aren't designed to display the same level of picture quality and resolution that is found in the digital TV signal.
Why is 'television' called TV?
Tele is Greek for 'far' which is why we have tele-phone and tele-vision. Vision because we watch it. with our VISION. Really the question should have been the other way around, as "Why is a television called a TV?" Originally, the device was called a television [as explained in the previous answer], and later someone shortened that to TV, which is an acronym using the first letter of the words Tele and Vision.j3h.
What sitcom on lifetime television did tea leoni work in?
She was in The Naked Truth (95-98) and Flying Blind (92-93) . I don't know if these were on Lifetime.
What is the difference between HDMI vga and rbg types of digital input?
HDMI is the only digital input in the group you specified. VGA carries RGB signals along with synchronization information, so VGA is really RGB. RGB is analog.
HDMI sends video information encoded in data frames. That is -- it is sent in numbers.
VGA/RGB sends the same information using careful timing and voltage levels, so it's very much more like analog sound than anything else.
What would make your sharp tv shut off on its own?
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.
What record was on the first digital audio disc?
I think the fist album to be recorded, mixed and produced in all digital (DDD) was "brothers in arms" by Dire Straits.
Is sylvania tv set 6727de digital ready?
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.
How do you reset your westinghouse tv to get the setup wizard?
Take it back to the store and demand your money back.
Does a plasma TV have a color gun that displays the picture?
By screen name Chris -- Plasma TVs use thousands of sealed, low pressure glass chambers filled with a mixture of neon and xenon. Behind these chambers are colored phosphors, one red, one blue, and one green for each chamber. When energized, these chambers of "plasma" emit invisible UV light. The UV light strikes the red, green and blue phosphors on the back glass of the display making them produce visible light By clinnin Plasma TV's do not have a color gun, only tube TV's do.
Why do I see little people inside my TV and how do they fit inside the TV what's going on?
They are not little people they are actual people that are recorded the projected on to your TV by satellite so they are not little people and they are not actually in your TV
What size screws Coby 32 LCD tv with built in dvd to wall mount?
Most 32" Coby TV/DVD combos have the screws already inserted in the back of the TV. Unscrew these four screws and use them to attach the TV to the wall bracket.
What do you do if you dont have a young enough tv to plug the HDMI in for a Blu-ray player?
Older televisions do not have HDMI connectors as they are a relatively recent development. Most will have an analog input, on RCA connectors or a scart connector (A multi-pin connector used widely in Europe) The analog connections will normally accept composite video, S-Video, component or RGB. In almost all cases, they will be for standard definition signals only. Most Bluray players have an SD output as well as an HD output. The HD output will be on HDMI and the SD will be one of the analog connections listed above. Check the manual to find out what outputs are offered and compare them to the television inputs. Select RGB or component if you have those options. S-Video is the next best option and composite if you have no other connections. Remember that using an analog connection means that you will not be getting an HD signal so don't expect to see the benefit of Bluray without an HD television.
Try the following link which may be of assistance http://www.jvc.co.uk/knowledge-list.php?id=4 Another opinion. If the eyepiece works, and the camera works, it needs repair at a camcorder place for sure. Could be a simple answer, but only a shop could get that one. Make a trial, blind recording and test the results. The LCD is only a view screen.
Is HD broadcast the same as digital broadcast?
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.
Why does digital cable tv have about a five second delay compared to an antenna based transmission?
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!
How do you tell if your TV has a plasma screen?
There is no certain way to tell if is plasma just by looking at it. A flourescent backlit LCD TV looks just like a Plasma TV. You can Google the model of the TV or look at the manual.
How long does an lh surge last?

My Lh surge was 4 days long is that normal??I looked into it and a few people said they had it and turned out they got pregnant with twins...is that true??Id love to have twins but i dont want to get my hopes up...
What could cause a picture to be too big for the screen And how do you fix it?
This is probably because you are shooting at a resolution that is higher than the resolution your monitor supports. You could either:
1. Shoot at a lower resolution.
2. In Photoshop click Ctrl+Alt+I then enter the desired resolution.
How can you make cable TV picture quality more crispy does an HDMI cable help?
The first thing you can do is follow your cable into your dwelling. From there look and see if it runs into a small box, also known as a splitter. These boxes can go bad from time to time and are very inexpensive, and easy to change. If you don't see a clearer picture after changing the splitter, then you could have a bad line. This could be inside, but unlikely. If your cable is fuzzy and just goes off and on, then this might be the time you call your cable company. What could be happing in is, on the pole outside where your cable comes from, the cable company puts capacitors on your line to block the channels you don't pay for. Sometimes... often, these caps (capacitors) go bad. They will just come out and change it, and sometimes just take it off the line completely (this means free upgrade). Now, none of these things work for you then the next thing you could do before rewiring your house with new coax..... buy a inline amplifier. This will amplify the signal to your TV, making it clearer (most of the time). The higher the voltage the better the amplification and the clearer the image. If you have a really long run to your TV (100+ ft) that can cause resistance in the signal, also causing static or blurry picture quality.
Now, if you have a digital receiver and it has an HDMI connector this will make the picture clearer. ONLY, if you have a TV that will support HDMI and the resolution that the receiver outputs to. This brings up a whole new discussion.
What does ref code s0900 at Time Warner mean?
It means you haven't paid your cable bill in a while, so they put it on a hold. When you call, ask them what the minimum payment you can make to have it turned back on is.
Should you buy a TV with 50hertz 100hertz or 200hertz?
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.
What is the difference between 1080i and 1080p signals?
Television images are made of horizontal lines. 1080 indicates that the image is a high definition one and uses 1080 lines to create the image. The "i" and "p" define how the lines will be delivered.
"i" stands for interlaced. An interlaced picture will start by showing all the odd numbered lines from 1, 3, 5 etc to line 1079. Then, starting at the top of the screen, all the even numbered lines will be shown from 2 to 1080. so in two passes from the top to the bottom, every line will be shown. the passes each happen 50 or 60 times each second so a full frame will be shown 25 or 30 times each second.
"p" stands for progressive. A progressive scan starts at the top of the screen and shows each line in order from line 1 to line 1080. A single pass is all that is needed to build a full image. That means that a full frame will be delivered 50 or 60 times each second. It is easy to see that a progressive signal displays lines at twice the rate of an interlaced signal. It therefore needs to send twice as much data as an interlaced signal.
Broadcasters do not transmit 1080p at the moment and are unlikely to do so for at least a few years. The standard broadcast HD signals are 1080i (and 720p). Most HD televisions will handle 1080p signals but they are found only on local sources such as Bluray, games consoles and computers.
In practical terms, the difference between "i" and "p" is that progressive signals show smoother movement compared to interlaced. For most programs, the difference is not obvious so the lack of a 1080p signal from broadcasters is not a big deal.
A final note on the frame rates: North America uses a 60Hz rate as standard while Europe uses 50Hz. The reason is a historical one but the frame rates will not be changing for either region any time soon.
The KLV32ex400 has no surround output capability. The only audio output is a stereo 1/8" headphone jack. If you are using a Blu-Ray or HD cable or satellite receiver, you can run an optical or coaxial digital cable from those directly to the receiver for surround sound.
