Few countries use the ATSC standard so you can't just buy one that was meant for another country. The flag is transmited in PSIP, PSIP tells your box what channel number to display and guide info, it is transmitted constantly
Was it connected with VGA? My work has a bunch of Dell LCD monitors connected to computers that only have vga out and they look like crap. I have one plugged into a DVI port and it looks great.
I am using it with a T720 and the fastest speed I can get using a serial or usb cable is 38400 so even if the network can go faster I am limited to 38400. I did have a chance to try it with a V600 that would let me use 57600 it didn't seem to be any faster

It used to be called a cellular phone but that was too long so people started calling it a cell.
I think you are forgetting how much the right wing media outlets bashed Gore over this. They tried to make it sound like Gore was nothing but a liar. From what I read Ann Coulter was the one that first twisted his words and the rest of them picked up on it.
I used to listen to Rush and remember what he was saying around 2000
If you are short on time for an install just do a stage 3 install. The packages cd has enough pre compiled packages to get all the way to gnome or kde desktop. Maybe a little longer than a redhat becuase of the manual install but not much
Its not just because of being a different band. My understanding is this satellite was designed for Internet usage and has what amounts to many spot beams. That lets them use the same frequencies over and over just like they do now for regular local into local.
As to the original post dish had no trouble chaning the modulation on some of the transponders from qpsk to 8psk to get more bandwidth. Its all just data they can send what ever they want.
satellite receiver boxes maded in the past couple of years already have ATSC tuners
Only HD satellite recievers have atsc tuners. I don't know of any SD sat reciever that supports ATSC. What will happen is the Satellite broadcaster will replace the analog tuner in their POP with a digital one, down convert the picture to 480 and uplink that to the satellite
On all the ATSC recievers I have seen you can do letterbox, strech the picture vertically to fill the screen or crop the sides of to get a 4:3 picture. Since most of the networks crop the 16:9 picture for analog anyway cropping works really well for me. If the show wasn't made with 4:3 in mind I usually set it to strech it to full screen.
I think basic basic price depends on the city you live in. Its around $15 in phoenix. I didn't think it was a federal law but required as part of their franchise agreement with the city.
PIP isn't an issue for a lot of the tvs I have seen since they only have one analog tuner anyway. I actually use my ATSC set top box to watch tv and the built in analog tuner for PIP.
My friends dad bought a big screen hd tv several years ago (its a sharp and he said they don't make large tvs any more). He bought it so he could watch wide screen dvds. He knew it was HD but didn't think it was good enough to bother with. So I offered to bring over my hd set top box and a pair of rabbit years and hooked it up to his tv. He was blown away by the picture. A couple days latter he went out and got an HD cable box. Since he already had digital cable it was only and exta $4 a month.
They use the same channels as analog tv. In my area analog channel 5 broadcasts a digital signal on channel 17. They have to build two separate transmitters to make it work
The newer tuners are much better than the older tuners, I have found I can have a fairly weak signal with picture break ups but the sound is still ok. Thats about the same as weak analog, you can put up with a bad picture as long as the sound is ok. I actually use a roof top antenna so I get a full signal on every station but I did try it with an old UHF loop antenna on it to see how it performed.
You might give the 64bit version of gentoo a try if you like compiling from source. They have it set up so you can still run 32bit binaries easily like quake3 or realplayer. I've been running it for about 6 months now with few problems.
I don't why but the compact fluorescent bulbs I turn on and off a lot die much sooner. I put 4 compact fluorescent bulbs in my bathroom and in less than a year all of them failed. I put four compact fluorescent bulbs in my living room where they are on a couple hours at a time and they have lasted a couple years so far. All were the same brand bought around the same time.

Another problem with DVHS is that no one still makes a tuner with firwire.

I don't see how she could be forced to pay an overage charge that was never disclosed.

So thats why hd tuners are so expensive!

My local CBS station has great HD, no macro blocking. They dedicate the full 19Mb to a single HD stream

I have one of those, the vga port on it works with my computer monitor even at 1920x1080
Except those are cable channels that have nothing to do with this

Don't forget that digital looks like snow on an analog tv so it looks more empty than it is.
