What can I do to continue receiving off air broadcasting through my TV antenna after June 12th, 2009?The two main options which you have for off air based reception after June
12, 2009 are:
- Buy a new TV, VCR, or DVD player with a built in ATSC tuner.
- Buy a converter box to put between your TV antenna and your old (NTSC)
TV.

Are Digital TV and High Definition TV the same thing?Not quite......
You have to use the Digital TV system (ATSC) to transmit High Definition TV over
the air, but not all Digital broadcasts are in High Definition. Any TV built after
Mar. 1, 2007 is required to have an ATSC tuner included which means that it will
receive and decode the digital signal, but there is no REQUIREMENT for the TV
to be High Definition. More and more television programming will be broadcast in High Definition
as time passes. All television will be broadcast in Digital (ATSC) after June12th, 2009 and it may be in High Definition. Keep in mind that you may be looking
at a TV that has been sitting on the shelf for some time and may not have a new
ATSC tuner installed. If the deal looks too good to be true, it may very well
be. |
| What do I have to do to get Satellite TV in my RV?In the US, there are two choices for satellite TV in your RV, Dish Network and DirectTV. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages for both services.
1. Satellite locations - With the current orbital positioning, Direct TV has the advantage here, due to the higher angle the satellites appear in the sky. What difference does this make? The farther North you go in the US, the satellites appear lower on the horizon. So, if Dish Network satellites are lower on the horizon than Direct TV satllites, you will be able to see the Direct TV satellites farther North than you would with Dish Network.
2. High Definition Programming - As can be expected, this technology and it's availability to consumers changes rapidly. Currently, DirectTV offers more HD channels and programming than Dish. If you are a sports fan, then DirectTV provides an even higher level of HD programming with exclusive offerings frmm the NFL, NHL, NASCAR and more. That's the good news about DirectTV, the bad news is that almost all HD content from DirectTV is broadcast on their new Ka band satellites and CAN NOT be received by a "dome" satellite antenna. So if you must have "in-motion" satellite TV, then you will not be able to take advantage of the HD programming from DirectTV. Dish Network recently implemented their TurboHD technology in response to their competition from DirectTV. This uses an entirely new compression scheme to transmit HD content on their existing satellites and to their existing receivers. (Sidenote: TurboHD was rapidly developed when Dish Networks - Ka band satellite launch failed to make it into orbit and was ditched in the ocean.) I don't have any personal experience with Turbo HD, if you are a Dish customer now and are satisfied, I see no reason to change, unless you travel in the North East US or the extreme Northwest, or if you want more HD channels , or if you want more HD sports content.
3. DNS - Distant Network Service - If you are a full timer, or spend a lot of time in your RV and away from "Home", in order to watch the major networks, you need to apply for a "Distant Network Waiver" which states that your satellite receiver is located in an RV and you are eligble to get the major networks via an east or west coast feed, instead of getting your "local channels". DNS is technically not available directly from Dish Network at this time, so if you want to get the network channels via the satellite, DirectTV is the primary choice here.
