Equipment to pick up digital tv signals directly from broadcast networks

Filed under: Personal, Technical — fblauer @ 5:11 pm

Here is a threaded discussion on the equipment required to pick up free HD signals directly from the broadcasters, without cable or satelite (since they are now broadcasting in digital). All you need is an antennae, and amplifier.

These posts are from people in my area, who are talking about what equipment they used, and what channels they are able to get. Apparently, the quality is as good if not better than cable.

You Need:

An ATSC tuner (Most HDTV have one) or you can buy a STB tuner (Check on e-bay) and connect it to an analog TV (Won’t be HD but it will be Digital).

Antenna’s: A CM-4221 or a CM-4228 for UHF and a Channel 13 VHF antenna (Delhi 5Y13S or the 10y13S for ABC HD)

A Pre-Amp: A CM-7778 or an AP8700.

Where to get that?

In Montreal there’s Raybel and Montcalme for the antenna’s.

On the Canadian Web there the senzus.com for the CM-Antenna and pre-amp. TigerDirect for a dvd recorder.

But check the Web like Ebay, and have them ship your thing with USPS.

That’s it.
