      Greetings TOM!                      RW> RW>>> Not on an analog station.               RW> TW>> I am not talking abuut secondary Audio but Multiplexing of TV        RW> TW>> signals on a digital Tv Transmitter.               RW>> That's what I said.               RW> RW> TW>>> The more channels of course means lower broadcast quality.        RW> RW> TW>>> Here is a bit form the Internet:               RW> RW> TW>>> Trinity Broadcasting Network stations has five SDTV        RW> RW> TW>>> channels, the most of any large broadcaster in the country.               RW> RW>>> We have the same 5 Trinity channels in San Antonio...now what?               RW> TW>> IF they are multiplexing you can get more than 5 TV signals from        RW> TW>> those 5 transmitters.               RW>> Doubt it. That would be pushing the envelope too far and they'd be        RW>> xmitting out of their allocated band frequency. As a HAM or HAM        RW>> advocate, you should know that the very idea of xmitting on the edge        RW>> of a band will get you in trouble with the FCC.                      TW> Well there are stations doing it. Both Ch 8 & 10 here trasnmit        TW> additional TV signals in addition to their Main Programing.              Well, you do know that they don't transmit that programming on the edge of       their allocated bandwidth, don't you?               TW> IT is Possible becasue the signal is Digital and they can use various        TW> compression teniques to make it possable and still stay withing the        TW> FCC band Width alocation. OF course Full hi Definition(1080) takes        TW> the full channel so as I mentioned previously the signals are of        TW> lower quality.              LOL! If 1080i is, in your opinion, low quality, that's a hoot. Most of       them use 720 and sometimes even 480 on a regular basis. Finding a 1080       transmission is about as rare as hen's teeth.                      Have a day!               R\%/itt - K5RXT              --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012       --- D'Bridge 3.99        * Origin: HAM Radio, aka Amateur Radio. 804?
