What are the universal remote control and codes for Scientific Atlanta PowerVu Satellite receiver D9835?

I have the same box and tv, if your remote is the same "model AT8560" there is not a code listed for Vizio, but you can do a code scan and it will program. Make sure the tv is turned on, and to enter code scan hold down the 'TV' and 'Select/OK' buttons until all the buttons on top start flashing. Then enter '991' into the keypad. The 'TV' light should flash. Then press the 'play' button and get ready to press 'Select/OK' when the tv shuts off. The 'TV' light should be flashing while it trys each code one at a time. Once the tv shuts off press 'Select/OK' once and test to see if it works by pressing the power/volume buttons. If it works press 'Select/OK' one more time to store the code.

How can you get HDTV over the air broadcast on a HDTV monitor with a standard TV antenna?

Yes, you can use the old antenna. However, some new antennas are specially designed to better capture digital TV signals. And the direction, angle, distance, and type of digital signals in your area could influence your choice of antenna. HDTV is a picture format, not a signal format. Most likely a TV with an HDTV picture format already has a digital tuner (ATSC) rather than only an analog tuner (NTSC). However, if it is just a monitor, then you may have to attach a tuner to it, or attach a tuner to your computer, and the computer to the monitor.

Actually, there is no such thing as an "HDTV" tuner. There are analog and digital tuners. All HDTV is digital, but not all digital is going to be HDTV. In Feb 2009 the U.S. Government has mandated that all broadcasters will cease transmitting in analog format and begin transmitting their signals over the air in digital format only. This signal requires an ATSC type tuner (digital) to demodulate the digital signal and display it on your television screen. All TVs manufactured for use in the U.S. from 1 Jan 2006 must have an ATSC tuner. Older TVs with the older style NTSC tuner (analog) will require a converter box to demodulate the digital signals.

More information about the upcoming changes to TV transmissions can be found here:

How does an antenna pick up tv signals?

The short answer is , metal antenna elements are tuned by length and diameter to resonate at a electro magnetic frequencies of the tv channels. The vibrating electrons vibrate each other , even over long distance. Some every day examples of this are , electric guitar , the electrons in a vibrating metal string vibrate the electrons in the electro magnet under the metal string, and this vibrating electron energy is connected to a amplifier.

A simpler example is a 'toaster' , the vibrating 'electrons/electric' flowing through the wires in the toaster make the electrons in the wires vibrate very fast and with a lot of energy and this is high rate of friction between the electrons makes heat. Friction makes Heat and light , light is vibrating electrons vibrating at a rate/frequency that you can see with your eyes The same thing in a light bulb.

The resistance of tungsten wire to the to the vibrating electrons causes more friction and this makes heat and light.

Electricity , is in fact vibrating electrons.

The different rates of vibration convey different information. Type of information are in fact , heat or light. Radio or Television or Etc,.

What is the function of satellite communication?

The satellite is used to receive foreign broadcast from other network stations and send it home users

Answer

Satellite communication is a process where a radio signal is transmitted to a satellite above your horizon. That satellite rebroadcasts that signal, on a different frequency, either to a ground station, or to another satellite to be relayed further. It allows communications without any local infrastructure, such as wires, towers, or other equipment. All that is needed is a receiver/transmitter which operates in the correct frequency bands, and which has sufficient power and sensitivity to communicate with a satellite, and the satellites.

Satellite communication allowed the boats in the Volvo Round the World Ocean sailboat race to communicate with the race headquarters, irregardless of where in the world the boats were.

That depends on the plan you get. For basic cable the cost is about 35/month, but then there are incentives and discounts to lower that cost.

However most cable companies offer package bundles with phone and internet service and if you take one of those bundles, cable service works out to be more cost effective.

Install a 6 foot ground rod below or near to the dish. Connect a #10 wire to the rod with an approved ground rod clamp. At the dish end use a #2 lug and attach it to the dish with a machine screw and nut. At the attachment point on the dish be sure to scrape the paint off down to bare metal so that the lug is not insulated by the paint. This method insures that the dish is properly grounded.
