The only way I could see the picture is by looking in my phone to find it on the right hand corner and

They should bring them back

IT GETS THE END OF CHANNEL BT SWITCHING OFF ON ANALOG TVS, THATS OUT OF ANTENNA

Here On My End In The United States, They Switched It Off All At Once On June 12, 2009!

I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE SAYING

– DIGITAL TV IS AWEFUL
– DIGITAL TV ALWAYS PIXELATES WHEN IT RAINS

As an expert installer, i suppose this is the place to say this

Let me explain something to everyone

1. Digital TV (if installed Correctly) is better than Analog in some ways and not in others

Pro's – (if installed correctly) it's unlikely to drop out or pixelate because IT HAS ERROR CORRECTION WORKING INSIDE OF THE TV TUNER.
Basically, Where you had Ghosting or Snow on Analog, that doesn't happen because of Reed solomon
Error correction

Cons – The signal is a higher frequency so it DOESN'T TRAVEL AS FAR
(which is why everyone in Picton and Camden felt it ) but also why they put up the Razorback
Transmission Station, but also in the Mountains you copped it as well

2. BY ALL MEANS SCRUTINIZE YOUR INSTALLER
LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY AND SAVE SOME MONEY AND GET GOOD SERVICE

– Real Installers don't like Dickhead Installers, we wish they would fuck off out of the industry, but they hang on like a bad habit. They do this and charge really cheap prices (no, it's not a good thing, because you end up paying more to fix it) and you the customer, accepts it
then says the other guys are a rip off
BE REALISTIC, when someone tells you they are going to do a full installation for $100
THAT'S BULLSHIT, He cannot be a registered business with insurance, with experience
and cover the cost of parts.
THIS IS HOW THEY DO IT

– They steal the parts and antenna's from other people's roofs
– They have no business name or insurance
– if they damage your property they'll jump in the van and take off

NOW, THE CRIMINALS ASIDE

You can get in experienced guys

They will say stuff like this

= Actually , the signal is good now, but when it rains IT'S NORMAL FOR THE SIGNAL TO DROP OUT

ACTUALLY… NOT IT'S NOT
2 Main problems exist

1. They have a shit meter
2. They don't have much experience and don't really know how to fix the problem

YOU'RE PAYING FOR THIS AND THE PROBLEM IS…..
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THEY ARE DOING THE JOB RIGHT

ok

ASK TO SEE THEIR METER

ASK HIM TO POINT OUT THE AMPLITUDE
(if he doesn't know what amplitude is……. you don't trust him)

the Amplitude level will be measured in dBuV (Decibel micro volts)
you want to see MIN 50 dBuV to around 80dBuV
a middle ground would be 70dBuV
if it's 40 or 45 or less THIS IS NOT GOOD

Now you check the QUALITY of the signal
it's called PRE B.E.R. sometimes written as PRE VITERBI
the figure will look something like this
2.46 E-03
3.21 E-06
4.28 E-04

there will generally only be 2 numbers that look like this
one will end in E- (something under 8)
and the other will look like this
0.00 E-08

you are not concerned really with the first part
but the part after the "E"

CHEAT SHEET

E-01 Absolutely shit signal (no signal)
E-02 Shit Signal, Pixelation
E-03. Good Picture ONLY IN GOOD WEATHER

E-04 THIS IS THE MINIMUM SIGNAL YOU SHOULD ACCEPT BEFORE PAYING HIM
E-05 You're laughing, you have good signal even if it hails
E-06 You're laughing harder because your signal is bullet proof so to speak
E-07 You're showing off about how awesome your signal is
E-08 You are withing maybe 5% of all people in sydney who actually have a signal this good

so… BEFORE YOU PAY HIM
ASK TO SEE
AMPLITUDE
Should be above 50dBuV

PRE BER
should be E-04 or higher
E-03 IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH EVEN IF YOU SEE A GOOD PICTURE ON YOUR SCREEN
(and you will)

If you do this
YOU FORCE HIM TO DO THE JOB PROPERLY BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GET PAID
YOU FORCE HIM TO BUY A GOOD METER
Instead of buying the cheapest shit he can find for $800

METERS TO AVOID
RANGEROVER
PROMAX
COMBOLOOK
ANTSIG (bunnings bullshit) Avoid at all costs
if it's a handheld with a TV Screen (fuck it off)

if it has LED's in a row to tell the strength (fuck it off) Absolutely Useless

SATKING (the latest ebay jobbies that are absolutely fucked)
they look good and impressive
they are usually around $200 and ARE NOT ACCURATE
(these things will say E-05 when it's really E-02)

HERE ARE SOME ACCEPTABLE GOOD METERS

UNAOHM AP-01
UNAOHM AP-01 HD
UNAOHM AP-201
and basically any Unaohm Meter (these things are $5,000 – $8,000)

ROVER HD TAB 700
(Generally ROVER is a shit brand, However the HD TAB700 is a good meter)
if a technician has this meter you know 2 things about him

HE IS VERY LIKELY A FOXTEL TECHNICIAN
HE IS LOOKING TO MAKE MONEY ON THE SIDE OUTSIDE OF FOXTEL
Regular Installers generally do not use Rover as we know the history ,
Foxtel Techs are FORCED as part of their van Audit to have the Rover meter

As opposed to the Unaohm which requires more manual input and a person
TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE A METER MANUALLY
the Rovers are more automated

but at least when a rover tells you PRE BER is E-04 You know that's correct

SO GUYS IN SUMMARY
DON'T GET RIPPED OFF
DO THE FOLLOWING

– Don't ask him for ID (You're kinda being a dickhead if you do)

– Don't be afraid to watch what he's doing.
don't hang over his shoulder like a hawk but in saying that you can say
"You don't mind if i watch ?"
IF HE COMPLAINS… GET RID OF HIM

– Before he starts the work
Politely ask "Do you have insurance up to $10 Million ?"
Any Tech worth their salt will have this and we are proud to admit it.
if you don't, you'll avoid the question in which case GET RID OF HIM POLITELY

You don't need to ask him for PROOF OF INSURANCE (that's going a bit far) but , if he's young and looks in experienced, i would. if he looks confident take him on his word (because you can later always tell teh cops that he lied)

– ASK HIM… ARE YOU A REGISTERED CABLER ?
by all means…. ASK TO HIS CABLERS REGISTRATION
it'll be in his wallet next to his drivers licence
Feel free to note down the number on the back
There's nothing wrong with doing this
IF HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT… GET RID OF HIM

so….
if he's a cabler
Registered business
Has Insurance
and Cablers Registration
sure, go head with him

and then

Confirm signal amplitude FROM THE WALL POINT
Confirm Signal PRE BER

IF YOU DO THAT AND TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS
IT FORCES THE SHIT GUYS OUT OF THE INDUSTRY
AND YOU DON'T GET SCAMMED BY SOMEONE THAT YOU TRUSTED
THAT THEN FUCKED YOU

YOU'RE WELCOME

Any questions….. Ask !

This was the day tv died forever tv and the golden was the best times watching tv

It's approching one decade since our analog tv was switched off. It was for the better though. Idk if anyone did misses analog

Converter Box Digital Channels

damn in my country analog shuts down in 2020

The sad music, the baby kangaroo being put to bed, that TV saying goodbye, the shrinking dot, followed by the static. almost makes my want to cry.
