Here we go, degenerating into a little name calling slanging match, Which
is tipical
of your kind, No doubt cathlic educated. rant,rant, Blah,Blah. O'well back
to school in a week or two, then we can get back to normal..
..
My question was , What Televisions, Plasma's, LCD screens will except a
pure digital signal, and the answer is none. But no you change the subject
to Single Definition, which we where not discussing. and also requires
Digital//analogue conversion. The question was never about the attributes of
SD, But digital transmissions without the need for a terrestrial receiver
[converter]
And as you have no idea, you resort to abuse. Very mature, I,m sure.
As for digital programming via satellite, Packer's got nothing to do with
it, there far to busy, attempting to get there programming excepted on the
Pay providers bouquat of channels, where incedently ABC and SBS are
transmitted now in Digital. This service will very soon carry channel's 7, 9
and 10. Once they get the advertising worked out. This alread happens on the
Cable services. So why would anyone want to bother with yet another
transmission, that is only good for the Cities and still leaves the Country
and Outback areas devoid of a TV service, Apart from the satellite delivered
Aurora service.
But as your head is so far up your arse, YOU have not noticed that yet.
Someone should block the tube you breath through.
As for people not wanting satellite dishes on there roofs, since the
introduction of Optus C1, with it's increased signal power, the same dish
which is used for pay TV, could also be used for regional {non-
terrestrial }digital broadcasting.
As for my terrestrial // satellite combined receiver, If you want one of
those, you will need to import yourself. As they are not available here yet,
and when or if , they will be at an inflatted price,
http://www.fortecstar.com. and http://www.wizardsatellite.com They
currently retail from Wizard at $300 plus freight
which is no money at all, when you consider what your getting.
