What do I do with HDMI Cables?
HDMI cables carry digital video signals from a source, such as DVD or Bluray player to a display. The interface carries video, audio and related data on a single cable as well as control information.
The interface was designed for digital high definition video but it can can carry a wide range of signals including standard definition, high definition and numerous computer based formats.
HDMI interfaces can use encrypted signals using HDCP, a copy protection standard.
What is best uhf antenna for tv reception?
Store bought. They have many different varieties. The best come with internal signal amplifiers. You can recognize these easily cause they usually cost more and have to be plugged in to a 120volt outlet. Be sure that the channels you want are all in the UHF band, some HD TV stations are still in the VHF band (2-13). Some additional info, If you can see the transmitting tower from the roof or where your antenna is to be mounted, avoid the powered ones because the signal to the amplifier can be to strong for the it to handle.

Can you use your old uhf antenna to pick digital signal on a digital t v?
The answer to the questions depends on where you are. In the recent change to digital in the UK, many existing analog aerials work perfectly with the new service although others have had to be changed.
Generally, in areas where the digital terrestrial service is using similar frequencies to the analog service and where there is good signal strength, the old aerial is likely to work. The results will vary between countries and even between areas. Try it and see if your aerial still does the job.
Can one build a simple homemade TV antenna out of twisted wire?
You can make a DB4 Digital TV Antenna out of a piece of wood and wire coat hangers. It works great and is very simple to make. It works better than rabbit ears! A free step by step tutorial can be found by using the link below. I have made 2 of them and they work great.
A simple yagi antenna can be made out of wire. Its impedance would be 300 ohms and this would have to be changed to 72 ohms to match the input of the TV set. This is done with a balun. Also the antenna should match the frequency that the channel you want to watch, this is done by 1/4 wavelengths.
You can always make one out of wire. It may not be (won't be) perfect, but perfection is not the goal. Functionality is. Simplicity is important. Depending on the wire you have, just do some experimenting to get something that work. You can rig up some "rabbit ears" or just try a simple "T" and see what happens. Impedances will not match, and lengths of the elements won't be spot on, but if you turn on your set and "play" with the thing, you'll get something that should allow you to at least watch some TV. What will be critical is which way the elements are oriented. You'll see big differences if you're holding the antenna and turning slowly around to reorient it; there will be one "best" direction, and one "worst" one. As long as your set is working properly and all you are doing is attaching some wire to the antenna jack, sticking it out into the air, and nothing else, you won't get electrocuted nor will you damage your set. Just be careful not to "mess up" your input jack on the unit. There are one or two spring loaded contacts in there to make contact with the center conductor on a piece of coaxial cable. Avoid jamming anything much thicker (and too long) into that type "F" connector (antenna connection) on the TV's back side.

How do you convert from 480i to 1080i on a tv?
You can't covert from one standard to the other. If the HDTV is a 1080 type, it will display that signal when present and display a 720 when it is present. A 720 HDTV will never display a 1080 resolution picture, it will show the picture in 720 resolution.
Poster Below is wrong (or out of date ) Hisense makes Insignia ,Dynex and Best Buy Budjet 1080p Sharp product ( now) XOCECO used to make them .
Tier one is top like Sony and Samsung and LG with Vizio and others a 2nd tier and all the junk 3rd tier no such thing as five tiers outside of third world *maybe *
Dynex, along with Insignia, are house brands for Best Buy. You will Only find them there. The manufacturer is XOCECO, which stands for "Xiamen Overseas Chinese Electronics Company." I know, because I did a lot of research on this unit, and even spoke with a rep from Xoceco, who verified that over 90% of Best Buy's Dynex brand TVs are made by Xoceco. They also make a portion of the Insignia lineup. They manufacture TVs for over 160 brands worldwide, 12 of which are U.S. brands. They manufacture products ranging from entry-level to fairly high-end. They manufacture over 5% of TVs worldwide. Cosidering the number of brands that exist, that's pretty impressive. They assured me, LG does NOT make any of the Dynex brand products. Xoceco has manufactured for SEC, Sanyo, Polaroid, and many others. At one time, they were sole manufacturers for Audiovox. The Dynex brand has, according to Xoceco, been a tier two out of five in regards to quality, competetive with other entry-level models on the market. The Dynex brand is now at about tier 3, marking a deliberate increase in product quality, and being about mid-level in quality. This denotes mainly the new Dynex products released this year.
below is an LGD panel size
I bought a 42" LCD TV last night and i heard the sales associate say that Samsung manufactures the Dynex so that is why i bought it. The picture looked great and it had all the inputs and the price was great.
both below could have the same Samsung Panel
My 2c: I looked at a 19" LCD Dynex side by side with a Samsung 19" and the pictures were identical and quite good. And Dynex is 30-40% less in price than Samsung. How long they last remains to be seen but they get good customer feedback. And yes, the salesman at Best Buy said Dynex is BB's house brand and they're made in China.
Olevia is manufactured by Syntax-Brillian.

You need an HD-capable display to see HD. You may not need an HDMI cable to watch in HD quality, if your source has the ability to display 1080i video through component video cables. All new Blu-Ray players coming out now have been changed so that HDMI is the only way to get high-definition (1080i or 1080p) video.
The Frenchman Louis Lumiere and his brother were the first to project, moving, pictures to an audience In 1895. But the first projector patented in the United States was patented by William Lincoln in 1867.
When will you be able to receive HD TV via an aerial?

How you can see cable channels without a converter box?
I'm having the same problem after buying another 46 in smart tv. I'm leaning towards learning the stock market and monitoring stocks on one, otherwise I might set it up to play download and manage music and photos from a pc or mac if could afford one.
Is there a way to connect HDMIi to RCA?
Most laptops are now equipped with a DisplayPort interface (or similar) which, with the correct adapter, may be connected to televisions with an HDMI or DVI interface.
Older laptops may have an S-Video connection (analogue audio/video), or simply a DVI port. If your television has an S-Video port, you may use this for standard definition audio/video. Alternatively, using an adapter, the DVI port may be connected via the HDMI interface on a newer television.
When using a DVI connection, you must provide an alternative connection for audio, as unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio. This can be problematic when using a DVI-to-HDMI adapter, as most consumer televisions provide no way to map separate audio and video sources to the same channels, or for mixing analogue and digital sources.
Some televisions also include VGA connections, though they do not tend to provide high-definition output (despite VGA having more than adequate bandwidth) as they expect XGA standard input (1024x768). If a VGA interface is available on your television, there will normally be an audio jack interface for audio too.
DVI-I ports on computer equipment provide piggy-backed analogue connectivity (unlike digital-only DVI-D interfaces) via a DVI-to-VGA adapter. To determine which type of interface is provided should be as simple as looking at the port.
If the port includes a cross-shaped 'hole' (i.e- if it looks like [+::::::] ), it is usually DVI-I, though some cheaper graphics cards manufacturers have been known to use the DVI-I port on a DVI-D interface, possibly in order to trick consumers into buying an inferior product. If it is more like a hyphen ( [ - ::::::] ), it is definitely DVI-D and can only be connected to a digital interface (such as DVI or HDMI).

Can you operate two tv from Time Warner cable box?
Yes, you can operate two TVs from a Time Warner cable box by using a splitter. However, both TVs would need to display the same channel since the cable box can only output one signal at a time. Alternatively, you can use a second cable box if you want to watch different channels simultaneously on each TV.
Can you get teletext on new digital tv's?
Freeview is the digital terrestrial television service for the UK and is replacing analog broadcasting. The changeover is being phased and will be complete by 2012.
Any UK television on sale should have a digital receiver incorporated now. Although there may be one or two exceptions, no reputable dealer will stock televisions that do not have a digital receiver.
The same should be the case worldwide wherever a digital conversion has happened or is happening.
But... There will be some very rare exceptions so make sure you ask the question before handing over cash to the salesman.
