Copper-clad steel RG11 or copper RG6?
Thu, 1 May 2008 18:55:22 -0700 (PDT)
Trying to pick a cable... and as always, budget is an issue.
I need to carry up to 200 ft. (with change) of 1080i Analog HD
component, which runs anywhere between 22 and 37 MHz (no SDI needs, at
least). Looking at attenuation at 74MHz, it seems to come down to one
of these options:

BBC Points West
Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:29:36 +0100
Hi:
This morning around 0600 for about 45 minutes, Points West was in chaos.
First there was the usual lack of a feed from Bristol, so the London
default came on. This happens several times a month (is it that the
presenter is late or other more tech reasons?).
But then something I've never seen before: the " ...

Winter Hill low signal
Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:13:29 -0700 (PDT)
Now I've got a TV that can do the Freeview thing all by itself, a full
rescan of my Freeview box will prove no problem, but the TV's been
missing channels in the last few days and a rescan meant it lost those

Don't be scammed by HD Radio HD/IBOC!
Sun, 27 Apr 2008 07:59:58 -0700 (PDT)
In the US, HD Radio is jamming our airways, especially on AM radio,
