      EV>In olden times a TV Channel occupied 6 Megacycle of space,       EV>iirc Video used 4.3 Megacycles of the space and Audio used the rest.              The Channel is still 6 Mhz but becasue of digital compression       capabilities the channel can be subdivided as I mentioned              EV>I will have to read up on that 720p and 480i stuff some to understand       EV>it. Watch out Wikipedia, here I come. I read up on lots of things even       EV>though I know some of what is written is personal opinion and not fact.              EV>Is the main frequency that Digital TV Channel 21 point whatever,       EV>transmits on Channel 21 or Channel 8. what I saw on TVFOOL.com messed       EV>up my mind, which is already messed up a bunch just by my playing with       EV>computers              All transmissions are on the over the air channel the TV is picking up,       Ch 8 in the case you are talking about              EV>I think I've seen point 6 on one of the Stations we can get,       EV>If I'm reading wht You wrote right they are transmitting the point 1       EV>channel at 720p and five other 480i channels.              Correct. As a side note if the broadcaster is willing to reduce the       resoolution of the broadcants they can get even more Channels. As an       example KAXT-CD in San Francisco is believed to have the most feeds of       any individual over-the-air broadcaster, with twelve video feeds (all       transmitted in the old standard definition)              ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom Strkes Again        * Origin: Check Out Doc's QWK Mail Via Web BBS > DocsPlace.org (1:123/140)    |
