How do I found what digital TV reception I get in my area?

The number of Digital TV channels varies greatly with in each local area, so it is best to look up your available channels by visiting special websites, such as:

http://www.titantv.com
http://www.antennaweb.org
http://www.tvguide.com


In addition, you can also find excellent local information from performing searches on the internet. Due to the proliferation of DTV channels, it is difficult to get the latest information from newspapers or other printed sources. In addition, the number of channels you receive depends on your physical location, your antenna and the location of the broadcast antenna. Broadcast television signals are line of sight , which means the best signals are received by pointing directly at transmitter. Buildings, mountains and other obstructions will affect the quality of the signal you receive.

What is composite output (RCA connector)?
Composite output is the format of an analog television (picture only) signal before it is combined with a sound signal and modulated onto an RF carrier. Composite video is often designated by the CVBS acronym, meaning any of "Color, Video, Blank and Sync", "Composite Video Baseband Signal", "Composite Video Burst Signal", or "Composite Video with Burst and Sync".

It is usually in a standard format such as NTSC, PAL, or SECAM. It is a composite of three source signals called Y, U and V (together referred to as YUV) with sync pulses. Y represents the brightness or luminance of the picture and includes synchronizing pulses, so that by itself it could be displayed as a monochrome picture. U and V between them carry the color information. They are first mixed with two orthogonal phases of a color carrier signal to form a signal called the chrominance. Y and UV are then combined. Since Y is a base band signal and UV has been mixed with a carrier, this addition is equivalent to frequency-division multiplexing.

But many of these boxes do not allow analog signals to pass through their components. Therefore, if you attempt to watch both analog programming on your TV set, you would have to unplug the converter box to receive the analog signals.
