No More Free TV (was Log-Periodic Antenna Design)
"Dave" wrote in message ... TV has never been 'free'. you pay for it with every product you purchase that is advertised on tv. and of course you pay for it in taxes, and also in product purchases from sponsors, for 'public' tv channels. tanstaafl! My squawk with "pay" TV is that you pay to get it, and then have to additionally watch commercials. |

The wife and I, with being able, for example, to go out to Fox tvs' webpage and view prisonbreak, have, pretty much, given up watching tv .... we have been talking about discontinuing cable and dumping satellite .... the loud commercials and VERY STUPID commercials have pushed it to the point where it is no longer worth it ... we end our services the end of this month.

Regards, JS Ya but they're putting commercials on the web episodes too! You cant get away from whatever they want to jam into the stream! I still have my VCR. I don't mind FFwd every few minutes. After all, if you have seen the commercial once, you have been "informed". I caught a couple of episodes of Sarah Connor Chronicles on the web and quality was pretty good but they played the same ad over and over until I found myself singing to it, so that I had to smack myself in the head with the phonebook to reboot myself. |

Yes, there is much I have experienced there ... We have dishtv, you can record shows/movies to the DVRs' recorder and then click a few times to go through 3-5-7-or more minutes of commercials ... Still, just the "feel" and the "stress" of all this leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth; when I mentioned that to the wife, she carried on for a good fifteen minutes+ on her own "emotional distress." This is just all about what a person is able to accept, or not, some might not even notice any "discomfort." AT&T is the first "BIG one we took on", we dropped them and went to Vonage--that was unacceptable at $29.?? a month, for the service we received--in short, and my humble opinion, they are a ripoff. We now use magicjack (http://www.magicjack.com) as $20 bucks for the little USB dongle, then $20 bucks a year, thereafter, to call all the US and Canada for free--we found our phone service!

Have you ever tried to get a clear picture, "next to the TV transmitter station"? The radiation pattern on the transmitting antenna leaves almost no signal in the shadow of the tower. I had to point the OTA antenna towards another tower a half mile away to get enough signal to monitor the 5 MW EIRP signal at the Channel 55 tower in Orange City, Florida. People within a half mile of the tower base couldn't get a clear signal. -- http://improve-usenet.org/index.html aioe.org, Goggle Groups, and Web TV users must request to be white listed, or I will not see your messages.

To get to the new(ish) movies even faster? Naw. To maintain the publisher / studio system of property rights? Maybe. To help keep the inherited great wealth rich, rich, could be maybe it is just people being people? No way. |

"Chuck Olson" wrote in message ... "Rich Grise" wrote in message ... Or, does anyone have a UHF-TV log-periodic design that they'd share? :-) Thanks, Rich Lo and behold, here is one http://tinyurl.com/665r5a but it's a throw-back to a simpler time when the HP42S calculator was an engineer's prized tool. If you have a 42S, punch it in and use it. Otherwise, this is mainly a learning tool to show how simple the calculations are. I think this design could be put onto a Lotus123 calculating spread sheet where all the output data windows would suddenly by filled up upon entering the needed input data. Sorry about the filename not working. This one should work: http://tinyurl.com/5qxh9u |

Among the claims, trolls for investors, and testimonials, where is the quantitative data showing that a fractal antenna is in any way better than a bow tie, in what ways, and how much? In other words, exactly where is the evidence on which you based your statement? The only "evidence" I have is a "testimonial" by the guy who invented it, on some PBS show. And they claimed that that's how they pack so much antenna into a box the size of your thumb. ;-) And, having a passing familiarity with fractals, it just sounds eminently plausible to me. :-) Cheers!

Art- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It's a folded, folded, folded, folded, folded,... n(folded) unipole antenna!! ;-) The highest gain in smalllest size would b obtained by using focused wave antenna antenna, inhelical mode basd upon your description go here and contact me diectly for fetails may have smaple or can fabricate based upn your specifiation. Nothig like it on the market! Patent is new and full marketing budget crippled along with creit maret so lauch delayed. So its business ti business right here, Good news is the you get to speak with invetor/builder an producer i on emai :-) www.fwt.niat.net short power point here http://www.youtube.com/user/LVMarc As an independant producer and start-up would be very responsive and appreciative of your support and queries. Can aslo locate front end amplifiers inside anna eleiminating front connector loss. that last .035 db is hard to obtain any othe way with a connector beween any antenna and front end so we put front end inside anteanna substrate and your system will out perofrm all otthers!
