US Network Channels blocked in T&T

Dunno why people even bother to pay for cable tv

When a 15mb broadband connection is $200 and you can download anything you want in minutes.

Who is your service provider.....where r u getting 15mbps for $200?

[SnipeR]

FLOW has 15mb for 199 I believe

What it think is unfair is the quality of what is received.

For example when World Cup comes around and people are subjected to TV6 poor quality, when directv and cable provides better quality. Standards should be enforced

that's why we urgently need to do this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_terrestrial_television

Digital terrestrial television (DTTV or DTT) is a technological evolution of broadcast television and an advancement over analog television. DTTV broadcasts land-based (terrestrial) signals. The advantages of digital terrestrial television, are similar to digital versus analog in platforms such as cable, satellite, and all telecommunications; the efficient use of spectrum and provision of more capacity than analog, better quality images, and lower operating costs for broadcast and transmission (after the initial upgrade costs). A terrestrial implementation of digital television (DTV) technology uses an aerial to broadcast to a conventional television antenna (or aerial) instead of a satellite dish or cable television connection.

Competing variants of broadcast television systems are being used around the world. Advanced Television Standards Committee created the ATSC standards that use an ATSC tuner in North America and South Korea—an evolution from the analog National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard. Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB-T) is used in Japan, with a variation of it being used in most of South America. DVB-T is the most prevalent, covering Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Colombia and some countries of Africa. DMB-T/H is China's own standard (including Hong Kong and Cuba, though Hong Kong's cable operators use DVB); the rest of the world remains mostly undecided, many evaluating multiple standards. ISDB-T is very similar to DVB-T and can share front-end receiver and demodulator components. Several European countries have switched from analog to digital terrestrial television, with the rest hoping to have completed the switchover mostly by 2012.

according to the article so many other countries have already transitioned, why T&T have to be the only one lagging behind?

what is TATT doing? i mean we haven't even started testing a digital signal, whilst other countries have completely transitioned years ago

DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION

TATT is hoping to implement the process of moving from analogue to digital television broadcasting by 2015. This process is called the “digital switchover.”
The switch to digital, which is a requirement of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), will have numerous benefits for viewers, broadcasters and the wider society. Most importantly, it will make much more efficient use of spectrum used in broadcasting. Another benefit is the potential for television broadcasters to offer additional services to their customers. This not only gives broadcasters new lines of business but also gives consumers wider access to new services and new choices in service providers.

thanks man.
Was looking at mohu vs the amazon before I came across this thread. Always better to have local feedback though. Might try the Amazon one just to give others feedback on an alternative.

Wow that's a surprise - thought it was probably somewhere in the west for that kinda quality. That looks promising for me then.

Now just to figure out how to get Zee TV easily for the older folks in the house before I could cut cable.

That's TV6 now. It is kinda snowy but watchable.


That's the antenna chook in my window.
That's the temp location, I plan to put it on a bracket on my roof. Maybe the reception will improve.

considering they removed the non compliant channels long time ago according to the directive from TATT can you really blame them?
it's just competition.
