USB2 HDTV capable receiver, neat.

http/www.digitimes.com/news/a20050315PR205.html

by 2025 8-VSB will have products like this. If and when they may
actually advertise them also.

The rest of the world gets neat DTV products we get a MANDATE that force
feeds us junk.

This IS junk. The vast majority of HD viewers want to experience the
viewing on a large scale, not on their 15 or 17" monitors.

It says it's an NTSC tuner. Explain how you get HD over NTSC.

So what, DVB-T doesn't necessarily mean HD. It doesn't say it does
ATSC, however it specifically states it supports NTSC. If it does
support ATSC, where are the specs? 720p, or 1080i?? And if it does
support ATSC, what the hell is your beef?

Anyway, it still doesn't solve the issue of a small screen size.

Yawn. DVB-T != HDTV

That doesn't say that it can *display* HDTV. It just says that the
computer has to be at least 2.4GHz to process an HDTV signal (even if it
only displays SD).

Psycho Bob Miller frequently makes selective and highly misleading
presentations. Among other things, he claims that vaporware press
releases constitute currently-available products, and implies that these
products do more than the press releases actually claim.

But you're an idiot. So....

There are tons of HDTV PC cards available now with 8-VSB. This device
you pointed out is basically just an external tuner card. What's the
big deal?

Is THIS what your 8VSB vs COFDM argument has come down to? Man
BOOBSTER, you appear to be more and more desperate every day. This
looks like you've scraped the bottom of the barrel. Pathetic.

Golly BOOBSTER,its been about 24 hours since you last said something
like this. I guess you just 'forgot' that there are a TON of 8VSB
receivers, all incorporated into satellite receivers from every service
and every manufacturer. Poor BOOBSTER, add senility to his growing list
of ailments.

Of course he will Chip!!! BOB MILLER ignores ALL posts that are factual
and prove the fallacy of his lying statements. I've had a Sony HD100,
HD200, RCA DTC100, HD Tivo etc., all of which have beautifully
functioning 8VSB receivers. But lying BOB will simply ignore your post,
my post and the myriad of posts that say the same thing or relate the
excellent experiences with 8VSB reception. This "man" is a lying SOB of
the worst kind. He has no shame, no pride and serves as the
spokesperson for COFDM. Nuff said!

But it is HD, read the article,

"The three products require a CPU with a minimum frequency of 600MHz for
regular TV viewing, 866MHz for MPEG-2 recording and 2.4GHz for HDTV. All
of the new TV tuners also need at least 128MB of RAM and currently run
on the Windows XP operating system, the company said."

Again read the article. "It" is three different receivers.

"The first one, currently named VideoMate DVB-T Stick, is a digital TV
(DVB-T) receiver."

and it needs a computer with at least "2.4GHz for HDTV"

No it doesn't. *Some* DVB-T in Australia is HDTV. Some is not.

Hence the inequality.

This device might be interesting if it is capable of producing a data
stream from incoming DVB-T broadcast television, and that data stream can
be rendered on a computer monitor in high definition.

If so, then it looks like the DVB-T world finally has a product that does
what ATSC tuner cards in the US have done for a few years.

It would be interesting to see what kind of antenna is required for use
with this card. Bob would have us believe that you just plug the dongle
into your laptop and voila! you have a portable HDTV that will work in
your car as you're driving through a tunnel.

This receiver is a DVB-T receiver and it can receive HDTV signals. That
means HDTV.

It does not support ATSC, that is the point. Few manufacturers support
or make 8-VSB products. This one doesn't. Most don't. It is almost
impossible to get a manufacturer to make 8-VSB receivers. I know I am
trying to find one.

Many manufacturers make DVB-T receivers of all kinds. In the UK this
list has 91 different models and there are many more not listed.

http/www.radioandtelly.co.uk/freeviewreceivers.html

This is after only two years of broadcasting in the UK. We have been
doing 8-VSB in the US for seven years, where are the products? Where are
ones that work?

Two of the three have NTSC and PAL/SECAM. The other one does DVB-T
(digital TV). It doesn't directly SAY that includes the HDTV formats
other than the later reference to 2.4GHz for HDTV.

Is there any product out there that does analog and digital TV in
one box, with seamless switching between them (e.g. you get both
analog and digital channels by repeatedly pushing the "channel up"
button on the remote)? In the US, this would be a NTSC/ATSC combo
receiver, but I'm not limiting the question to the US. Of course,
the usefulness of such a product goes down as the analog turn-off
date approaches.

I didn't see anything in there about a display *AT ALL*, and the
term "receiver" to me doesn't imply one. But it's still an interesting
product for use in a do-it-yourself DVR project.

Aren't there already existing products that fit in a computer, and
allow the computer to generate a signal you can feed to any HDTV
monitor and get HDTV resolutions? (outputting what? HDMI, DVI,
or component video?) In other words, a "HDTV video card" which can
generate 720p or 1080i pictures. Or am I mistaken about this?

I have two of them in my house, a Sony HDD-200
and an LG-3200a. Both work great, Bob.

I have an ATSC receiver that scans for all stations analog and digital
and you simply click though them all. I can't tell you what the name is
at the moment though.

Yup, I've been using the Myhd card now for awhile. Before that I had the
Accessdtv card for about three years, but had to change it out for windows
XP.
They work well, we've always had solid OTA recordings [NYC area] of many
different HD shows. I'm up to 3 IDE harddrives [1 terabyte total] and 3 USB2
drives [650 gigs total] now, and I still need more for satellite recordings.
