1 Note - Digital Channels are/will be
broadcast on some of the old analog channels.
This is relevant because any particular digital channel, from any
direction, could be on any of the old analog channels, but may appear on your
local set or ATSC/QAM tuner by the same designator such as 5.1 etc.
This would
add the same digital channel number, such as “5.1” for each of the old analog
channels the ATSC/QAM tuner finds a digital signal for 5.1 on. That would result in the possibility of
multiple entries for 5.1, each from a separate source or translator
broadcasting on a different RF analog channel.
Your local
modern ATSC/QAM Tuner TV or DTV converter may then display two or more entries
for some of digital channels, such as multiple 5.1 channels, but again, each
coming from a separate RF frequency. Not
each digital entry will have a signal, or will have the same quality signal as
the antenna direction is changed between different transmitter/repeater sites
as shown above.
Certain
newer ATSC/QAM Tuners in flat panel sets, as well as some Digital Converter
Boxes, such as The Dish Network TR-40 will indicate the Digital Channel number
as well as the old analog channel the digital signal is currently being received
on.
3 Note - No Signal
2 Note - Apparent Signal Quality may be
poor from Master Station and not local Signal Strength
4 Reference Test Configuration
& Distribution System:
a) Mid-High Gain VHF/UHF Broad-Band Log Periodic
TV Broadcast Reception Antenna.
b) Channel Master Preamp 5’ from antenna
output.
c) -30 dB Jerrold tap-point for test television
tuner at Preamp output.
d)
First distribution amplifier input approximately 80’ downstream from preamp
output.
e)
First distribution amplifier output split 3-ways:
i) First Output
Port passively split
two-ways; feeding 2 sets within <20’.
ii)
Second Output Port actively split & amplified two-ways; feeding 2 sets @ >50’.
iii)
Third Output Port
actively split & amplified 5-ways; feeding 5 sets @ >75’
5 RG-6 / 75 ohm low-loss RF cable.
