EV>JE>TW>JE>TW>At our age we can make statements like that. Of course at one
point
EV>JE>TW>JE>TW>we may/will have to buy a converter box so we can watch the HD
EV>JE>TW>JE>TW>transmissions down converted to the Old TV standard.

EV>JE>TW>JE>I dread that. I have 4 TVs in my house. One in the den - 32", one
in t
EV>JE>TW>JE>master bedroom - 20", one in my computer room - 13", and one in my
EV>JE>TW>JE>wife's sewing room - 15". All fed by one BIG antenna and using a
EV>JE>TW>JE>splitter (I think that is correct). Maybe I can figure a way of
feedin
EV>JE>TW>JE>the output of a converter box to the input of the splitter.

EV>JE>TW>That should work. the downside is that ALL TV's would only have the
same
EV>JE>TW>Channel, the one the converter is set for at that time, avaialble.

EV>JE>Bummer! The wife and I often watch different channels.


Ed, I am not going to even think about it till I am forced to.
That should be a couple or more years down the road. Then I will start
worrying!

EV>Jay,

EV>I do not have cable.

EV>While reading this thread I thought about the "cable ready tv sets" that
EV>have been sold for some time.

EV>My 19" Zenith can be changed from Antenna to either 2 or 3 versions of
EV>Cable signals.

EV>I would think that since the Decoder is inside the TV set You and Your
EV>wife could be watching 2 different channels and a grandkid visitor could
EV>watch something else in one other of the 2 remaining rooms where you
EV>have tv sets.

EV>I only have 1 tv set, but I have a VCR and a Combo VCR/DVD unit.

EV>My rotatable tv antennas' feed line goes to a AC powered Amplifier and
EV>it has 4 F output connectors on it.

EV>I feed my 2 VCR boxes with 2 of the output connectors and have 72 Ohm
EV>Resistors screwed in the 2 unused outputs.

EV>The 2 different VCR units outputs go to a A-B Switch that has the common
EV>F terminal going to the Antenna Input of my tv set.

EV>You probably have a simuliar(sp?) arrangement at Your home.

EV>I don't see why receiving HDTV through a convertor wouldn't allow
EV>different channels to be viewed at Your house.

EV>But I have no idea if the Convertors that will be sold will be like
EV>those first Cable Boxes that were Tuneable and you had to have the tv
EV>set on only one channel to use it.

EV>The new Cable boxes, like I have seen at my brothers house, aren't
EV>tuneable, they allow all the cable channels to go to the tvs Antenna
EV>Input connector and the tv tuner handles changing channels.

EV>But again I did say above "I have no idea" so I probably don't know what
EV>I'm talking about EXCEPT for my own tv setup.  ;-]
