Re: Digital to analog TV signal converter - which one?

We've adopted the habit of recording things and then spooling forward
almost to the end to see if the recording stuck. Nothing is more
aggravating in TV watching than having a great movie pixelate and drop
out after having seen half of it. So, you end up recording stuff you
normally would watch live, meaning all that DTV is being rendered in

That's what I was hoping for - a converter that would still let me use the
programmed vcr. Does anyone know of others out there?

Yes you have mountains in Scotland (Visited there a while back, love your
country and its people BTW!!!) , but you havent seen mountains till you visit
the Rocky Mountains. We have a severe problem with TV signals and mountain
ranges in the far western United States. I live in Utah and its amazing you

My guess is DC shorted out whatever couples the protect circuit to the
output or there is too much DC offset on the repaired channel. Do some
voltage / current comparisons with the other channel provided it is ok
and not harboring some underlying problems too.

Fat wires directly to the battery has always served me
well in a number of instrumented cars.
Only one accident with a blown regulator in a generator,
suddenly about 100 volt instead of 12 volt.
That was over a period of 40 years.
The battery works like a rather big capacitor. :)

The original transistors were 2SC3281 and 2SA1302, they were replaced
with NTE2328 and NTE2329. The other components replaced were Q512, D520,
D522, R612, R614. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Gary

I bought a Zenith earlier this year, based on some Web reviews. It's a snap
to set up (it does almost all the setting up for you), EZUU, and the picture
quality is good.
However, as others have pointed out, digital is not a panacea for any and
all reception problems. You have to have a strong, reasonably clean signal.

I have some 20 year old silver loaded paint/ silver conductive paint
Electrolube SCP003 ,kept in a 35mm film pot, in fridge. It cannot be called
paint now, but not totally dried out, more like paste. I mixed a little with
the resin part of some also quite ancient but good epoxy , bulk 1kg purchase
about 10 years ago, also kept in fridge (red cap = resin ? any standard ?)

I've settled on the Digital Stream converter for "live" TV viewing
as it works well and has a decent program guide. The very first converter
I purchased was a Zenith, which also works very well but has a minimal
program guide.
For taping/time-shifting I'm using Zinwell ZAT-970A converters which
have a timer feature useful for VCRs. You can set up to 8 timers to

Dear NG,
I'm looking for the pinout of the mentioned cable to program
the IP of the Rittal CMC-TC PU II.
Could someone please provide me the layout of the 9 pin D-SUB
connector to the RJ connector by probing it with a ohm meter.
Many thanks in advance for your kind help.
