Please log in for more thread options this is a frequent topic. I searched, but could not find any references. My cable TV operator (Verizon FIOS) is going all digital. This means that I will need to switch to the digital TV tuner set top boxes. In order to still see the in-house TV sources (camers, DVD players, PCs, etc), I would need a digital (ATSC) modulator. Does something like this exist? I checked on ChannelPlus' website, and found only tuners for NTSC. Note that I am not referring to digital NTSC modulators, but modulators for digital TV.

Please log in for more thread options tuner. You might be able to work with that. Here's an example... http://www.firebird-systems.com/graphics/tuners/205dct.shtml On Tue, 27 May 2008 12:44:58 -0700, beaver wrote: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I've seen some but those were professional stuff..
I used to install camera system for a security firm and we were working with the cable company of the region (videotron) to provide the camera signal of the front door of some large apartment building (like 100 app and more) this was on channel 900 and up of the digital setup box , I remember that the transmitter was sold for more then 10.000 canadian installed.. this was used to provide a feed back of who was calling on the intercom (phone system) 33fa3802-eb5d-431b-8c53-0eb93f7221e8@x35g2000hsb.googlegroups.com... > I used to post here on, but have not visited in a while.

ATSC modulator is an oxymoron. Depending on what output you use for the FIOS set-top-box (STB) either RF, component, or HDMI will decide how to inject your signals. Assuming you are going to use the RF (Coax) output of the STB you can use the same analog modulators you already own. If you use the HDMI or component outputs of the STB to the input of the TV you'll probably just need to use another component level input on the TV to see the other sources. This is especially true if the FIOS STB uses HDCP (which I wouldn't know). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection -- It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. -Jack Handey Take back Usenet <--> http://improve-usenet.org

Please log in for more thread options I currently place video sources onto unused (analog) channels, and
send that along with the incoming RF around the house. If I were to switch to digital (ATSC), I would like to also distribute the video sources (PC, DVD, CCTV cameras, etc) onto unused ATSC channels also. This is why I seek something such as an ATSC modulator. Thus, I want any TV in the house (with a DTV set top box) be able to see the old analog sources. I know I may be able to do it with two remotes at each location, but I was exploring the ATSC modulator option. Looks like this idea is too expensive for me to use. I will instead set up my own little cable system inside my home by using analog modulators connected to half a dozen set top boxes set to the favorite channels. Edward Cheung > beaver wrote:
