HDTV

A Freeview set top box is a digital television receiver for use in the UK and delivers analogue signals at the output, for use with analogue televisions. All Freview receivers have video and audio outputs and normally these are found on a scart connector, the European multi-pin AV interface. If a television has no scart connector, it may be possible to use separate video and audio connectors, normally phono or RCA sockets. If the television doesn't have any kind of video input, then the only option is to use the RF connection. Not all Freview units have an RF output. If the Freeview signal must be taken into the television, then the receiver must have the output signal encoded to RF. Note that some Freeview receivers have an RF output but only to loop through the antenna signal and do not deliver the digital programme to the RF output. To be sure that it will work, you must ask the question "does the output of this receiver feed the RF output?" Remember that many salesmen will not know the answer to this, may say yes to get the sale and you get a unit that doesn't work. If that happens, you are fully entitled to return the unit and get a FULL refund as long as you asked the question before you bought it. (The Sale of Good Acts make complete provision for this). This isn't meant to be an attack on salesmen by the way but I have a big problem with poorly trained sales staff gicing out incorrect information!

Probably not. It's a vacuum chamber and when it cracked, it let air into the envelope.

The again, if it's still working, your TV may have a plastic cover over the screen to protect it.

One thing I do know first hand, is that the cost of the screen replacement will probably be more than the cost of the TV itself. I'd suggest you use your home owner's insurance and replace it. You'd be much better off.

Channel 10 or 11. It depends on your services.

Yes it will. Sweden uses the same voltage/frequency as the UK (230v/50Hz). However - in order to view TV channels in the UK - you will need a digital set-top box for digital television. All the old analogue transmitters are now switched off.

An aerial. This is an old time term and not used in the USA much today.

Computers are increasingly using digital video instead of VGA. Many computers now have a DVI connector in addition to the standard VGA connector. DVI carries digital video and happens to be the same signal format as used in HDMI cables. Using a DVI to HDMI cable allows most modern televisions to display the computer screen. There is one large difference between DVI and HDMI in that DVI connectors do not carry audio. If the computer has a DVI connector, there is definitely no audio carried. If the laptop has an HDMI connector, it may be the case that it still carries no audio. Some computers use HDMI as the video connector to save space but retain the DVI signal format, missing the audio signal completely. If this is the case, all is not lost. Most televisions that have an HDMI input also have an analog audio input connector linked to the same input. The setup menu normally allows a selection of digital audio (using the HDMI cable) or analog (using the analog connectors). If there is more than one HDMI input the analog option may be on just one connector. If this does not solve the sound problem, there might be a problem with the audio output on the computer itself. A search through the control panel help to eliminate the problem.

This message is generated by the cable box and means that the signal for the channel is not usable. This may be due to a loose cable connector at the back of the box, the TV outlet or splitters. This can also be due to a damaged drop cable, loose or corrorded or wet cable fittings. It could also be that your cable provider is having an outage in your area affecting some or all of the frequencies used to provide you television service via the cable box.

When something is digital that means means it is composed of ones and zeros, i.e., the language of computers. This is as opposed to "analog" or wave-based signals. Digital cable is something new cable companies are implementing and offering to their customers. It can mean much better sound and picture quality than the old, analog cable television. However, it can also sometimes mean outages when the networks get overloaded.

Plasma televisions suffer from an effect known as plasma burn. It can happen if a static image is displayed for extended periods of time. The phosphors in the screen are slightly damaged over a period of time and the result is that the image is burnt onto the phospor permanently. It has been known to happen within a few days if, for example, a logo is left permanently displayed for several hours each day. Therefore, any games console that has fixed images on the screen may cause the problem, especially if the same game is being displayed continually. It is worth reading the user manual for the television carefully and following the advice. Normally, this effect is not covered by warranties. Avoid leaving static images on the screen. Avoid having high contrast or high color static images and don't set the brightness adjustments too high. As long as you are sensible with the use of games on a plasma, there shouln't be too many problems.

No, it will not. Europe generally uses the PAL system and the USA uses the NTSC and also digital formats. The two are completely incompatible, not to mention the differences in voltages available at the wall socket.

You can look at the in and out connectors on the TV and the amplifier. You have choices that depend on the tv and amplifier, basic stereo, surround sound and tos-link. As you know in and out are connected and out and in are connected. Do not connect in and in to each other and do not connect out and out to each other.

It has to be eye-catching and snappy. It could use slogans, logos, music and motos.

High Definition Television, as we know it today, was created by a Grand Alliance of companies working together to create the next generation of television. Members of the Grand alliance included General Instrument, Zenith, and Sarnoff Labs (RCA), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and AT&T Labs and Philips. The Grand Alliance was formed in May of 1993 under the auspices of the FCC and was tasked with producing a single set of standards that would allow HDTV transmission to be phased into use in the United States.

weak signal strength. Call up the signal strength bar from the menu then raise or rotate the antenna until the bar shows an increase.

all converter box's are the same.

Onn televisions are sold exclusively by Asda. All Onn products are made by the German company Schneider Electric.

YES!! .... But only if it has a digital input. Many DVD home theater systems cannot add other players to their system. They are essentially closed systems with the amplifier, tuner and player all built into one.

It is not possible to convert an analog television to a digital television. However, by using a digital set top receiver, it is possible to receive digital signals and deliver them as an analog signal to an analog television.

Digital receivers are not expensive, starting at around $25 in US and £20 in the UK. They will allow all terrestrial channels to be received in the same way that a digital television will.

Cable and satellite receivers can also receive digital signals and will provide an analog output that can be used with older televisions.

With these options, there is no need to replace analog televisions right away. Remember that analog only televisions will not be HD so don't expect a sudden increase in picture quality when the digital receivers are used.

Digital television is not so much an invention as development. There are several factors that have supported the introduction of digital television. Looking at the question from another perspective, digital television has only recently been available for consumers because the cost of computing hardware has been prohibitively expensive until recent years. The rapid decrease in the cost of large and complex electronic circuits over the last decade has enabled viewers to make use of digital television at a sensible cost. However, digital television has been around for 30 years. The early digital effects units made an entrance to the television production scene during the 70s and have been improving ever since. A DVE is the device used to resize, reshape and manipulate video images and today it is used on virtually every production in some way. With more and more digital equipment available for production, almost all broadcast studios now use digital signals from the camera to tape. The final program is archived on disc rather than tape in most modern facilities so the final link to the consumer inevitably was to become a digital signal. Digital storage has enabled quick and simple re-purposing. This is the process by which a program can be broadcast over traditional links to a television and also formatted ready for broadcast over the Internet, to Ipods or to mobile phones. The formats are very different but digital storage is the starting point for the formatting process. It has also enabled video on demand services that would be impossible with analog storage and transmission Television and computing are converging. Computer data and Internet communication is digital and as television is sharing many of the same lines, digital data makes it far easier to combine both services. As a result, a single fiber or copper link into a house can serve telephones, Internet and television services. The convergence will continue until there is little distinction between data and broadcast. Digital program delivery to homes allows more channels to be accommodated, more additional services to be provided like multi-language content and interactive services. The progression to digital has been planned for many years and we will see more ways to receive television programs in the coming years.

"Standard-definition" (meaning 480i) Cathode-ray tube televisions are analog. CRT TV's are easily identifiable by their immense weight and the fact that their depth nearly matches their width and height. Newer, hi-def (720p, 1080i/p) televisions are almost all either lcd, plasma, or dlp, all of which are digital. for digital TV monitor shouldnot be of CRT.
