First off, my compliments to (3) well written articles that are clear, concicse and to the point — very nice. Second, thank you for passing it on and helping the cause. Third, I can’t wait to see the 4th article and the out of the box design. Finally, thank your father for being a positive influence in your life and keep up the good work lad.

Does that include satellite recievers from those really old C-band
6 and 10 foot dishes? Would be nice for that.

The number in 1080i doesn’t mean frames per second,
it’s vertical resolution, or lines per frame.

Good idea. Thanks for sharing with SCC_Cafe.

One caveat, though. I had an old DirecTv HD receiver with OTA HD reception, but the program guide needed to be received from the satellite. So with this unit, without the satellite link, you would get the HDTV reception from antenna, but no program guide.
