Satellite TV

thrash44 answers:

Television broadcasting is going digital, albeit HD.
They will continue to provide SD for cable, or on broadcast TV.

If it is your cable provider that is going digital (it is them not its stations doing that, unlike broadcast, where it is the stations going digital,) or more accurately turning off analog channels requiring a box, there is nothing else you can switch to that does not require a box, unless you want to get an antenna and a digital capable TV set.

Digital cable, Satellite, IPTV, and FIOS all require a box.

It still dominates in terms of number of viewers. Just because someone subscribes to cable does not mean they aren’t watching NBC. Look at the Nielson ratings and you’ll see broadcast shows rule most ratings.

Download Google Earth.
It is a program that will let you see the Earth from any point and with any magnification.
It uses satellite images and aerial photography.

Try google earth

The site you refer to only have stored images of earth….
Because there are clouds that would normally block your view, they only took pictures on certain days that that had no clouds….and this was a long process. You arent going to find a site with a live satellite image of your house……

Satellites cost hundreds of millions of dollars, theres no way your going to find one that says, hay, I spent almost a billion dollars on a satellite, and now I decided to let the general public use it!

Yes there is a way. First you need a tv capture card so you can feed video from your satellite to your pc. Google for programmable satellite receivers.

admin answers:

I use Sirius; I think both services are about the same, with each having some exclusive content. If the NFL or Howard Stern is attractive to you, Sirius is the way to go since those are only in Sirius. I don’t know much about XM and what their exclusive content is. I suspect on the music side they probably have similar content. I think pricing is similar, too.

admin answers:

I know Sirius is 12.95 / month and I think XM is about the same. Depends on what you like. I love Howard Stern and NFL so I went with Sirius. If you don’t care for Howard and like baseball more than football then XM is your cup of tea. IMO, the music stations on XM are just slightly better than Sirius music channels, but Sirius is catching up.

These two companies may or may not merge in the near future so you might not have a choice. Pay attention to the details of this proposed merger, because if the companies do merge you might have to buy new equipment, so it might pay to wait.

admin answers:

Just go to Best Buy or Circuit City or some local electronics store, and they’ll help you out. All you need is a satellite receiver…and you have to pay a monthly fee. The receiver, or some sort of antenna connected to the receiver, must be able to view the sky unobsructed. So, a system for you home will likely be different that a system for you car.

It is possible that the converter box has a better HD tuner than the TV, but you would be better off getting a better antenna. Go to this site:

http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx

enter your zip code and see what kind of antenna they recommend to get the stations you want.

Besides, if you get a coupon-eligible converter box, that will not give you HDTV. (They do not have component or HDMI outputs.)
