Re: [IRCA] HDTV Converter Box Hash
- Original Message - From: Does anyone know if newer HDTV sets, which don't need the converter box, also give off a lot of noise, via either direct radiation and/or up the power lines? Kevin: I have a Pioneer plasma HDTV receiver and it does put out a lot of noise. As I never use the digital tuner I can't say if it's coming from that part of the receiver. I'm the only one here that uses it, and never when I'm DXing, so the noise is not a problem for me.

Re: [IRCA] HDTV Converter Box Hash
I have an Insignia sitting in the box in the other room. Never used it as there is no digital here. The Toshiba EDTV has the digital tuner, so I may never use the converter box anyway. I wonder why the converter boxes makes noise when the TV sets do not with the digital tuners? I presume the digital tuners don't in the sets, but there is no digital here so I guess I wont know until we get some. How far out does the digital noise carry? Fortunately most people have Dish, Direct, or Cable here. Few watch the translators. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] HDTV Converter Box Hash
I finally got the wife an HDTV converter box, and it puts out a fair amount of noise. The noise seems to be both radiating from the box itself and travelling up the power lines - yippee! It's the "Insignia" house brand from Best Buy. Does anyone know if newer HDTV sets, which don't need the converter box, also give off a lot of noise, via either direct radiation and/or up the power lines? To keep the peace here, I would forego my next DX purchase (or two) and get a new HDTV if that would fix the problem. Kevin- I have no idea if the digital TV receivers cause any noise, BUT the converted box does, and big time. If you want I have an idea you might try before you lay out some big bucks for a new TV. I will write you off the list IF your interested in cheap and easy way to (perhaps) get rid of the noise.
