Analog to Digital TV Conversion - Comments Page 8

I have two TV sets for which I have convertors. Is there a way I can connect my convertors and connect my DVD/VCR players simultaneously, and switch functions accordingly? Is there another device I must purchase to make this possible- as there are provisions for only ONE set of three color cables on each respective television set?.

I set up my converter box to my tv with a built in VCR. The VCR records fine if I push the button, but my timer recordings only record in black with no sound. I'm not sure why it records manually but not on the timer. HELP!

A friend has a small portable analog TV that appears to have a built-in antenna. The converter box co-ax output to the TV input brings up a screen that says No signal. Can you plug a rabbit ears TV antenna into the converter box to get a signal without disconnecting the built in antenna. Or can you connect the built in antenna to the input co-ax on the convert box.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I suppose it depends on how the TV is wired. Experiment!

Why am I seeing the message "digital signal is low" on channels that previously had no difficulty reaching my inside antenna, broadcast- only televisions? The transition has cut my channel list almost in half.

Although the images are better than the analog broadcasts, still, this is too much a hassle.

And converters are not the same. some converters can pull in signals better than others. But the biggest pain is that the signals are unstable. Say, you were able to pull in Channel 7.1 if you move to another Channel then go back to Channel 7.1 later, you won't get the signal for Channel 7.1 anymore. You'll have to tweak, rotate, and move the antenna sideways, back and forth to get the signal again.

And signals from some stations are difficult to pull in. The most difficult channels to pull in are the CBS 2 and My13 TV. Followed by NBC 4 and CW 5 then 11. In the order most difficult to difficult Easiest is 7.1, 9.1.

If some stations get low ratings it is not because viewer don't want to watch them, it is because there is "NO SIGNAL".

I bought an antenna and converter box months ago, and on June 12 at 7:OO AM I scanned my TV and all was well, except I did not have channel 13. Unable to scan at that time, I came back later and re-scanned. No channels were strong enough to scan! I now have zip, zero, nada channels. If this is another example of how well the government is going to "take care of us" cradle to grave, we are in deep, deep trouble!
