Nope, very uncommon indeed actually.

I guess you don't have much experience with digital tv
then.

Guess again. We turned off our analog TV well before you
lot did and those who previously had a problem getting an
adequate analog TV signal because they were behind a local
hill in the shadow from the TV transmitters found that they
now get a much better TV service than they had before.

so you base your opinion on just your own experience at one
location,

Nope. I have had a number of people say that they
have ended up with a MUCH better result than with
analog TV, including at least one who commented
in usenet about that.

but I'm talking about various locations throughout the Melbourne
metropolitan area

It isnt that common to get that result.

lots of ppl have pay tv just so they can get good reception
easily.

Bullshit.

nonsense.

Fraid so on your lots of claim.

it's a popular solution that also has the advantage of providing the
pay tv channels as well

And fuck all need to go that route.

I recall someone who called his digital STB 'The Pixilator'

Just a fucked STB.

nope.

Yep.

poor digital reception area

Bullshit.

you had better go and tell all the places selling fringe area
antennas, signal amplifiers, signal level meters, etc., that they're
not needed then cos there's no such thing as poor digital reception
anywhere!

I never ever said anything even remotely like that.

you've been saying throughout this whole thread that there's no problems
with digital tv reception,

Everyone can see for themselves

they can indeed see what you have tried to claim there aren't problems
with digital tv reception

FU: > poor digital reception area

RS: Bullshit.

That wasn’t saying that there are no poor digital reception areas, fuckwit.

None of the rest of your even sillier shit worth bothering with, all flushed
where it belongs.

And in fact you can often use an indoor antenna with digital TV
where you had to have and external antenna with analog TV.

Only if you had ghosting issues, but not if you had a snowy picture.

In fact our analog signal was pretty good but since the switch to
digital only we have had to install a signal booster to prevent dropouts
and pixelation.

It's a bit temperamental. Disappointing really.
No, it is where I live,dab coverage is limited to central population
areas.

You were able to get an AM/FM hand held radio for $20, now a digital is
$100+

If the digital radio reception is as bad as digital TV, we are going
backwards at a great rate of knots.

Only way I can get good reception TV in Tullamarine, right next to an
international airport, is to have cable TV.
Digital simply doesn't work.

What happened to technology progress in this area?

Cheers Don...

Things in OZ seem to be lagging behind the rest of the world...
including the fact that you poor bastards elected the Mad Monk!!!!
I live in Germany, where terrestrial TV is virtually non-existent - the
few broadcasters that are left only use SD digital, nobody is
transmitting terrestrial HD.

That is because nearly all of the population has cable or satellite TV
access. And it is cheap, only a fraction of what you poor suckers in
Australia are forced to pay. I get 50 digital channels (10 in HD) for
about $2 per month (they also send about 30 channels in analogue format
down the cable for the fossils that haven't bought a digital TV).
And the Internet is also MUCH cheaper than in OZ - you can get 50 to
100Mb per second plans with unlimited phone calls for less than
$20/month.(With NO download limit).

So, get off your arse and demand a better deal for all Australians!

Not gonna happen with the Abbott/Murdoch alliance "governing" the
country for their own benefit, not to the benefit of all Australians.

We had a good analog service. Now we have a signal booster for digital.
Other people in our village can't get signal when there is a train going
past.

Probably more to do with an upgrade to the transmitters to go with the
digital service.

There was not upgrade to the transmitters.

A weak signal screws with digital TV as the error levels skyrocket.

Nice theory. It isnt what happened with his or with ours that have
a weak signal because they are in the shadow of the hill at that
back of town and had real problems with the analog service and
don’t now with the digital service. And I know that the transmitters
were not upgraded here either, because I know the person who
ran them.

In fact our analog signal was pretty good but since the switch to
digital only we have had to install a signal booster to prevent
dropouts and pixelation.

That is pretty uncommon.

Bullshit.

Fact.


You wouldn't know a fact if it bit you on your lard arse.

Everyone here has either had to upgrade their antenna's or get
boosters due to weak signal to prevent breakups and pixelation where
their reception was more than adequate on the analog system.

Don’t believe that. Name the location.


South-West WA, coastal.

That's nowhere near specific enough to check your completely
silly claim that EVERYONE there had to upgrade their antennas
or get a booster. That is a bare faced lie.

SBS HD still suffers and is unwatchable due to the signal error levels.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

Nope, basic facts

Nothing even remotely like a fact.

A single stream in a digital transmission can't be the only one
affected, fuckwit.

Basic physics.

Nothing to do with physics, fool.

that seems to be a common thing

Nope, very uncommon indeed actually.

I guess you don't have much experience with digital tv
then.

Guess again. We turned off our analog TV well before you
lot did and those who previously had a problem getting
an
adequate analog TV signal because they were behind a
local
hill in the shadow from the TV transmitters found that
they
now get a much better TV service than they had before.

so you base your opinion on just your own experience at one
location,

Nope. I have had a number of people say that they
have ended up with a MUCH better result than with
analog TV, including at least one who commented
in usenet about that.

but I'm talking about various locations throughout the Melbourne
metropolitan area

It isnt that common to get that result.

lots of ppl have pay tv just so they can get good reception
easily.

Bullshit.

nonsense.

Fraid so on your lots of claim.

it's a popular solution that also has the advantage of providing
the
pay tv channels as well

And fuck all need to go that route.

I recall someone who called his digital STB 'The Pixilator'

Just a fucked STB.

nope.

Yep.

poor digital reception area

Bullshit.

you had better go and tell all the places selling fringe area
antennas, signal amplifiers, signal level meters, etc., that
they're
not needed then cos there's no such thing as poor digital
reception
anywhere!

I never ever said anything even remotely like that.

And in fact you can often use an indoor antenna with digital TV
where you had to have and external antenna with analog TV.

Only if you had ghosting issues, but not if you had a snowy picture.

Wrong, Jim, who used to post here quite a bit, went from a very
snowy,
almost unwatchable analog service to a very decent digital service.

Probably more to do with an upgrade to the transmitters to go with the
digital service.

There was not upgrade to the transmitters.

A weak signal screws with digital TV as the error levels skyrocket.

Nice theory. It isnt what happened with his or with ours that have
a weak signal because they are in the shadow of the hill at that
back of town and had real problems with the analog service and
don’t now with the digital service. And I know that the transmitters
were not upgraded here either, because I know the person who
ran them.

In fact our analog signal was pretty good but since the switch to
digital only we have had to install a signal booster to prevent
dropouts and pixelation.

That is pretty uncommon.

Bullshit.

Fact.


You wouldn't know a fact if it bit you on your lard arse.

Everyone here has either had to upgrade their antenna's or get
boosters due to weak signal to prevent breakups and pixelation where
their reception was more than adequate on the analog system.

Don’t believe that. Name the location.


South-West WA, coastal.

That's nowhere near specific enough to check your completely
silly claim that EVERYONE there had to upgrade their antennas
or get a booster. That is a bare faced lie.

SBS HD still suffers and is unwatchable due to the signal error
levels.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

Nope, basic facts

Nothing even remotely like a fact.

A single stream in a digital transmission can't be the only one
affected, fuckwit.

Basic physics.

Nothing to do with physics, fool.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have
never ever had a fucking clue about anything at all, ever.

same here. had to install a signal booster.
did you have your antenna checked? not all are "digital ready" its why
the previous govt spend millions replacing them on aged pensioners homes.

yes, I installed a fringe area digital antenna and a distribution
amplifier, as I have several outlet points. this is a known weak digital
signal area.

As for my personal situation, I agree, what stations I had and could
watch on FTA vanished the moment they turned analog off on one set, for
another we do have a new high gain antenna and amplifier, but still get
better pics off foxtel satellite for FTA, digital radio is also useless
here... and "here" is a bout 45-50 mins north of Brisbane CBD.

It's what you've been saying in one way or another throughout this whole

reception you poo-hooed the idea, and when the claim was made about use
pay tv to avoid reception problems you poo-hooed that idea too.

Rod's problem is that he often presents his opinion, personal
experience, etc., as facts, and then defends these non-facts to death.

It's a pity, because he sometimes has valuable information, but
because he nearly always gets into a brawl about some minor non-fact,
his (non-)opponent(s) won't see/absorb the information, because it's
lost in the noise. Much like bad digital reception!
