[DMCForum] Re: Cable Satellites



Actually the conversion is analog to digital.

Every cable system I've ever seen receives analog C band. That's the
array of big dishes pointed in different directions -- same old
satellites they've been using for 30 years (well, new satellites in
more or less the same place as old ones fail). C band owners receive
EXACTLY the same signal as cable companies do, without conversion and
layers of distribution.

Same with "local" channels over the air. You'd be amazed how clear a
rooftop antenna (properly amplified) is over the same channel on cable.

Renders HDTV as unnecessary as fuel injection.
