digital TV transition

Hello all,

My ES friend, who cannot use a computer, is having increased symptoms because of the digital TV transition. She is wondering if anyone else is havingthis trouble. Does anyone have any recommendations or information that might be helpful? Does anyone know if cable signals that are already digitalwill change in any way on June 12?

thank you.

And how did they conclude this? In my area, digital TV signals have
been active for many years. And the analog shutdown hasn't occurred
yet.

Nothing should be happening to digital cable on June 12.
Cable companies are gradually phasing out their analog
feeds, but they won't be completely phased out for years
in most areas.

I think the elimination of analog television could indirectly cause a potential myriad of problems for us. The FCC will be less concerned about preventing reception interference with digital TV, so other wireless technologieswill have more freedom to proliferate.

Shortly after the initial February 17 digital startup date, I noticed a recently-installed rotating radar dish atop a downtown parking garage. I don'tknow what the hell it's doing there but since digital TV reception is lesslikely to be affected, we're bound to see an increase in this type of thing.

Well yes, that is the REAL problem -- once those frequencies are no longer
being used by analog TV after June 12, then who's going to start using
those frequencies? Fortunately, most of those frequencies will still
be reserved for television (I think), but some of them will be open
to new uses.

As per January 1th 2010, the analogue TV stations will stop emitting their
analogue signals in the 700 MHz band..

Then, there will be a number of channels free for broadcasting other signals
like Wimax.
But the Wimax signal consists of OFDM, which will cause interference with
exiting digital TV transmissions.

In Germany a new system has been developed, called CIFDM, which is a very
narrow signal, and does not have the disadvantages of Wimax.

A pilot is momentarily going on in Brandenburg Germany.

A test was done over a distance of 80 kilometers!!!

A friend of mine is saying the same thing. That when analog goes away
stations
will be required (by FCC) to increase their power so that remote areas still
have TV coverage.
It is true that in the FCC database the power for digital licenses around
here has been revised upwards
a couple times and now is pending engineering review.

I wish we knew more about this... if anyone knows someone who works at a TV
station maybe they can find out. For people who are not in line of sight of
a cell tower
but do get TV reception it could be a major problem.

I seem to remember that in the uk they will sell off the old analogue
frequencies to the mobile phone companies as an adiition to the network ? The
whole thing puts the fear of god into me, 2012 could be a very interesting
year for us all.

Hi all,

Just trying to catch up a bit here, while my pc connection is working. Don't know what's up, but people in the valley have been having modem and connection problems for about a week and a half now.

I know many channels had already gone to digital, some were using both tillthe required change date. I noticed some kind of shift here when it happened with our local station. I can't say just what, just felt a change. I haven't slept well the last couple nights either since they switched, Don't know for sure if it is connected.

The analog frequencies will be used by whatever companies have bought them,although several months back, it appeared not much of the bands were beingbought as was hoped. Also, they will be used for military apps. I don't think anyone can really believe that digital tv transmission was mandated by the gov. just because they want us all to have better reception!

There was a Dr. Ott talking about the digital band a couple times on radio a week or two ago. It is suppose to be a "cleaner" signal, in that it doesn't carry as much static/pick up as much interference from other wavelengthsattaching to it. On the other hand, it also allows the gov. to easily transmit any other frequency they like along with it, piggyback. So what is coming in can vary.

I've already heard several people who watched a show ?2100 or some number like that, that they were fine, and fell asleep while it was on, w/o having been tired. So if watch tv, pay attention to these things, if it is affecting you.

It also reads rfids easier, and can be used as tracking, making a wireless grid basically for all the locations it comes in. Of course it will travel through places on it's way to it's destination, just like other wavelengths, bothering whomever is sensitive to it.

And that smart grid thing; "%$#@!!", lol.

I am trying a couple things that I fell across, too soon to tell, but if they really do seem to be having some benefit, I'll post so others can check it out.

People are really liking the Biopro products in the area here. Heard of a guy the other day who is not ES, put one of the cell chips on his phone and could tell an immediate difference.

Then a couple who own a local radio station here are using their ?plug in gizmos in their home, and are not ES and really like them. If people who arenot knowingly susceptible to these fields can feel a good difference, I'd say that is a good sign.
