The CW is taking over for Bally's

Aluminum foil and bunny ears make an excellent digital antenna.

So by that spectacular logic, the cable that connects the antenna to the F-connector coax jack on the TV is a "digital cable." In fact, and F-connector is a digital connector! :rotfl: And the electrical power cord which connects the wall socket to the TV which shows the programs which it received on the digital channels via the digital antenna, is a digital power cord. :bigthumbup:

Did you used to work for Circuit ööööty?

I'm happy for the dude. The stores are still sewers. Not his fault - management doesn't seem to give a öööö.

It is a digitally encrypted signal in the coax .. not the case with the power cord

So the coax is a digital coax? How is the digital coax different from a coax which isn't digital?

BTW, you DO realize that all TV signals which are broadcast over the air are digiital. Right?

Please tell me that either you didn't graduate from Tech, or you were an IM major.

By that logic HDMI is not digital either.. it runs for example at analog 25MHZ

I actually graduated from tech EE with communications specially
 
CW has had some really good commercials for the ACC games. Tech appears several times, although they have a photo of Pyron in what they show. Obviously the commercial was made before King was named starter. Still a good commercial though

BEE '82 here, with highest honors. MSEE with emphasis in communications. Practicing RF and microwave receiver design engineer for about a decade. Then a digital communications engineer for the National Association of Broadcasters during development of the US HDTV standard in the early 1990s.

If what you claim is true, then I can only assume that you are trolling, as you must know damn well that there is not one thing "digital" about any TV antenna, and it's nothing but a marketing buzzword for the technologically-ignorant masses. Although your reference to broadcast TV signals being "encrypted" is disturbing to say the least. HDTV broadcast signals in the US are encoded - but they are not encrypted.

And I asked you about the coaxial cable from the antenna to the TV RF input, which you also must know damn well is no different today when it carries a digital TV signal (as they all are these days) than when it carried an analog NTSC or TV signal in 1995.

There is nothing "digital" about any cable, including an HDMI cable, however unlike the coaxial cable which I asked you about and which you evaded answering, an HDMI cable complies with a specific standard for communicating a digital video and audio signal. So while the cable itself is not "digital," at least (unlike the antenna and the coaxial cable and the type F connector) it is specifically designed and intended for carrying a digital signal.

Now you're getting it.. the cable or antenna are not digital but they carry a digitally encoded and sometimes encrypted signal (i.e. QAM) .. I never claimed the antenna or cable are digital but as you just agreed they carry a digital signal

Also I believe there are still analog broadcasts in other parts of the world

Lastly where is my ATSC 3.0 ?

This conversation reminds me of a guy I know who had to certify that the Army's M4 was Y2K compliant back in the late 1990's. BTW, make sure your digital antennae is Y2K compliant.

And to more directly answer your question.. what's different about the coax cable? The difference is the signal it carries.. physically they are the same... There's nothing wrong or egregious about calling an antenna for a digital TV a "digital TV antenna" even though they are the same as analog TV antennas (although the newer broadcasts seem to have less VHF)

Yes there is. Because the antenna is not digital. Its not even designed to do be specifically compatible with any digital signal. It's just a bunch of ööööing metal bars.

You're either a troll or a ööööing imbecile. Either way, I'm done with you.
