  • This was done and I only have 9 channels

    :(

    So, I moved to FIOS :)

  • is there a pc program that can transform the digital signal format into another digital signal format through the usb jacks?

    i mean to connect from the antenna to the usb from the pc, direct the signal through the program to transform the format from one codec to another and then send it out through another usb that's connected to a receiver which supports the newly coded type of digital signal

  • i have a new tv will this workk

  • @jefftabeni16 -- that is exactly what happened to me so then I bought a digital antenna and it STILL said no signal, check connection, I am at my wit's end!!!!!!!!!

  • screw TV. stop watching it. Cure yourself of your drug... I Dare ya, pussies!

  • Oui pour moi aussi en français s'il vous plaît, mais j'aimerais savoir si c'est normal que le convertiseur devienne bouillant, si non alors quoi faire ????

  • En francais s'il vous plait

  • do u need an antenna for the AccessHD DTA-1080D Digital Converter Box

  • thanks for the close captions

  • can u watch kids channel

  • All lies, the sound is not better neither is the picture. These people lied about what would come after the transition. Those involved should be tried for treason. Those converter boxes were a sham and the people of the Americas was taken for a ride because this was a scam

  • but you need vhf and uhf you don't have uhf you only have a vhf so that is insane

  • The change to digital signal is coming to Canada soon and it was a good explanation. Thanks. But im amazed that US government offered coupons for these boxes and not my governement, that is often decribed as more liberals than down south. And yes, screw the cable companies!!! XD

  • I want to get one of these boxes for my parents, but I don't think they have an antena on their TV. They were using DirectTV before, but can no longer pay the bill. Can they recieve the signal using the dish/antena from DirectTV along with this Converter Box together to watch TV?? Thanks in advance..

  • I connected my DTV Box to a screw in a outlet and got 40 channels!!!

  • 5 CHANNELS FOUND, failed.

  • @seej1982 lol lucky

  • I have this box for my tv. It works pretty good with the roof antenna. I'm 60 miles west of Chicago and can get the majority of the OTA channels. Screw the cable companies!!!

  • i have a 1050D am trying to connect my ps3 rca cables to it , but i cant find the option to switch to the channel that lets me play my ps3 after i connected it to the box , am i stupid ?

  • soo borred........ZZZZZZ

  • what a hypocrite at first he was like WOW what's that, then he realized how dumb he is couse he didn't understand what they were saying !

  • lol that guys is funny pay attention at 4:34

  • lol 0;01 is that pacmen oh that is it

  • Is this like a freaking commercial or something, cuzz I ain't buying it.

  • ive been trouble sleeping lately but now i can just wach this video

  • FiOS=IP-TV?

  • haha he connected the digital converter box via antenna to the tv.

    you only get a better picture if you use rca plugs.

    even strange there,s the big hd logo on the front of the unit,but it has no hdmi or dvi output,what a joke!!!

  • @johneymute do they sell converter boxes that have a hdmi output?

  • wtf is that the view haha thats fucking funny na its a mexican show my mom watches all the time lol

    good shit the joke i mean not the show that shit is

    shit on a stick

  • lol the view wtf.... maybe the young mexican version.

  • NOOOOO! not Matlock!

  • I bought one of these P.O.S. converter boxes, and I lost the remote. Why is there no way to program the g'damn thing without the remote?!

    When I tried to buy a universal remote to progran the damn thing, I was told the only universal remote that was compatible with this thing was the one they sold!

    What A rip off!

    THESE PEOPLE ARE TOTAL ASS-HATS!

  • just get a Digital Television

  • WTF high definition in a regular tv? do not joke!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @ivansdco its not hd:)) i dont get it... US has digital HD or just digital?

  • @DjBlackVIP There is Digital HD, but can only see it in HD with an HDTV (Duh).

    But if you have a regulat TV, you get the DigitalHD signals, and then these converters make it not HD, so it can be displayed on a regular TV

  • @ivansdco the signal is HD....not the tv...

  • damn that sucks....

  • Man this is a rip off. I bought the digital converter box before the transitions and I can watch all my shows with the digital. Now when the transition came, the shows just disappear. The Digital Converter box can't find signals such as Fox but before it did. I tried everything, I try moving my atenna, I put it where it had find the signal before, I mean litteraly, I tried EVERYTHING! And nothing worked, it's missing channels that I used to watch.

  • Thats because most channels relocated their digital signals to different frequencies and for yur digital box to understand them, you have to rescan your digital box and do this every two weeks or so since new channels will always be added.

  • I rescan my digital box every 2 minutes. It can't find any signal.

  • Hey up date your info on this video. Comcast is stopping ALL analog tranmision through their cable so you have to get a DTA box for each analog tuner TV,VCR,DVD recorder. or their big box of may to choose from. Some free if you have extended basic. Anyway for what you were able to get FREE basic signal many years not its going to cost

    $20,30,60,80 a month . sometimes you have to buy many channels just to get that one you want. Best deal is to change providers one time a year.

  • My HDtv only show 7 HD channels ho would i be able to get much more cause i would really like to watch sports center in HD

  • You've gotta have HD cable (which is like 5 dollars extra per TV atleast with our service) or DirecTV or Dish Network in order to get ESPN in HD.

  • So really.... I've heard they have cameras in the converter box, is that true?

  • no its been proven to be fake

  • whaaaaaaaa!!

  • i have 3 channels and they suck i want anolog back

  • John Carpenter's "THEY LIVE" You're Right! Get those Sunglasses so you can spot them out!

  • dtv is hdtv or not?

  • no

    HDTV is High Definition TeleVition

    DTV its Digital TeleVition

  • I am getting 20 asian channels now..... (

  • im getting more spanish channels than everything else put togethe =\

  • my tv was made in the 2000 and it works fine

  • he was rong it started june 12

  • If you look at the date this video was uploaded, the original date was February 17th, 2009. It was delayed just before that date to June 12th. Some markets such as South Bend Indiana did end their analog on that date, with WNIT ending theirs earlier in summer 2008, due to their NTSC transmitter going out.

  • can you use the DTV box if you have cable?

  • tried it, doesnt work :(

  • @oRaNge1035 yes

  • i live in the uk can i get 1 of theese in 2012 we are havin the switch over

  • hahahah the world will end!!! not really thats just bullshit all that 2012 shit.

  • @agntroboy1995 Hey U hear bout the birds and the fishes its a sign 2012 is near

  • i got this box it sucks, it only has zoom and normal size. get a tivax or magnavox they had zoom,normal,wide, cinema

  • how does digital tv converter work? if the stations stop sending analog signal... then how will the little new box receive ANY signal at all?

  • the station will stop analog signals

    not digital signals

    the box only picks up the digital signal not the analog.

  • my tv was made in november 2007 so its digital right

  • look on the back it would say dtv, atsc, or dose it say hdtv you have a digital tv

    if it says ntsc you got a analog tv

  • COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT I SEE JUDGE JUDY!!!! lol no thats just my luck i be doing something like this and someone will bich! .. im not so don't hate

  • thats the People's Court

    lol

    nothing can beat Just or Unjust on GTA IV

  • i have an apartment building antenna does that work to?

  • If the antenna is on the roof, and in good condition, then maybe. If you have one on your balconey or patio, then you wanna make sure it faces the direction of the transmitters, if it's a directional antenna. Apartment & condo dwellers will have a difficult time with DTV more than those living in a house, since HOA's tend to regulate what antenna you can have, and where one can be mounted (if at all).

  • i have that. it cost me only 2 cent with the coupon

  • what coupon? where did you get it?

  • your already to late to get the coupon , and is the government coupon

  • no its not too late i ordered one right now..

  • Are all convertor boxes the same. I have one brand in my kitchen that is amazing. It picks up every channel. I have 3 more of another brand and they don't pick up the channels like the one in the kitchen. I'm not sure if it is an antenna issue or the box itself.

  • 4:39!!!!! i have the biggest question on it!!! my hd always loook slike dat wit a regular antennna! it loses its signal!! if i buy a converter box will it still lose signal or no???????

  • ok wait my tv is a cable tv but its kinda old, well its not flat screen or anything its a standard tv, i dont have channel 57, 46, and 48 anymore. so does that mean i need a converter?

  • how many channels do you pick up with the converter box ??

  • i got my coupon and it only cost me 12 bucks including tax great picture although i could use a better antenna

  • this is so lame, not all people have the money to buy this kinda shit or a new tv, i mean not all people can have a tv on there house...oh well i will used internet to watch my fav programs.

  • If you don't have a TV, then you don't need a box in the first place. If you don't have $10 to buy a converter box, then you have serious financial problems or are a cheapass.

  • who says i dont have a tv??? i have 2 in my house and im just saying that there are a lot of people who had dificulties buying a normal tv, now if they want to see it they have to either buy the converter or buy a digital tv...have u noticed that eua has economic problems??? and by the way the converter doesnt cost 10 dlls from what i saw and heard the price can be up to $60dlls. Anyway im just expresing myself

  • You didn't get the $40 government coupons then, didn't you?

  • ok i have a question today i bought an access hd converter box so i kooked it up to my vizio l32 then i put the coaxial cable and the power supply and it coudn't fiind a signal please respind because when i go to put the channel it says no signal.PLEASE RESPOND

  • Is it for the whole world or only the U.S ? pls need to know :D

  • its for i think North America only

  • i heard if u have aplasma tv u know hd tv is it true that digital tv will make my tv more HD?

  • Those are Miami TV stations on the TV set...I can tell by the NBC 6 (WTVJ) logo.

  • he dit said that you will get a better picture&sound,but if your tv only have antenna input,it would be in general pointless.

    if your tv does has composite input you will get a much better quality but still it,s not the best.

    if it does have s-video,rgb scart input you will see the best quality for sd channels.

    but for hd you need a hdtv and a converter wich could handle it, with component output.

    oh well it,s all about to blast your good old tv,s into new live hahaha lol.

  • I got a RCA DTA800B1, and DTV is amazing. I suggest everyone use video out jack when you can. The picture is absolutely amazing, DVD quality, better than cable in my opinion.

    My television is a nice Flat Glass type set, so it displays the digital picture with amazing clarity. I remind everyone, Digital TV is DVD Quality. Superior to cable in my opinion.

  • what the fuck is this? i subscribed to TigerDirect... not computertv...

  • Did anyone else notice that when he removed the antenna from the box the image actually got better? Should it not have become garbage?

    Just had to post :) Looking for a good converter, maybe will wait until late Dec before coupon expires. Hope a converter box with an internal antenna come up.

  • "What is that, the View?" Lol he got distracted by Escandalo TV. That show is just nutty.

  • LOL!

  • Meh, the only person who watches TV in my house is my mum. I stopped watching 3 months ago, used to watch Hollyoaks and other British soaps but when you get into politics and have your own opinion not someone else's it starts to become clear how TV is just brainwashing you and you no longer can watch without anger building up inside.

  • why not just get another TV?

  • glad I live in europe, everyone has cable here standard pretty much. We've switched digital too, but it simply comes over the cable and works with any pal tv. only if you want to see hi def you would need a hi def tv.

  • i dont have any old tvs

  • Same, wait except one that we use on the Patio

  • All my LCD Tv's and my 50 Inch Plasma came with HD Ready recievers so I didnt need a HD tv

  • I dont have tv anymore. Tv is brain wash. I have only computer and internet. I am happy and I can find whatever I want.

  • lol seriously.. i havent looked at a tv show.. or a tv screen for that matter.. for like.. a few months now... PCS FTW!

  • INDEED!

  • Computer and internet is super duper brain wash

  • no only internet hahaha

  • people still use this stuff?

  • What if you have cable without a box?

  • You have to have the box...maybe its hidden somewhere? Well, even if its not there, then If you have cable, you'll be fine ;)

  • Wrong, You need the box to receive the Digital signal.

  • You need a box for cable too. My point was, there has to be a box somewhere, most likely hidden from view.

  • Oh, Well yeh the box is most likely hidden but Eitherway without the box you dont get the digital signal.

  • I bot my converter box for $20. it was $60 but I got the goverment coupon.the coupon is $40

  • hmmmm...I have a tv tuner in my pc that I'm pretty sure was made after march 1 2007, am I set and good?

  • Most likly

  • lol that was Escandalo TV

  • why do the women dress like that?

  • Hispanic Culture I guess? Who knows, depends on the person and religion I'll say. My sister now and again will wear short dresses like that as well. I'm Hispanic and let me tell you something, Hispanic women are confusing to understand.lol

  • In the UK you get a freeview box....

    Only cost £22.50 Sterling.

  • so let me get this straight if i have a tv made after march that means i am going to get better quality

  • ???

  • God those adds about this thing are so annoying lol. Is the soon to be HD in America going to be 720p or 1080i/p?!

  • I don't think it will be HD, just digital.

  • ohh, ok, well that sucks!

  • I prefer to watch tv on my computer monitor because the dot pitch makes hd and digital look so much better than on even an expensive tv. I bought a hauppauge HVR-950q and can watch digital and high def from antenna or cable and record it in a quality that makes it great to burn to dvd.

  • all the TV warnings i been seeing about it, are like Fear mongering stuff. this vid is actually helpful. i have cable for my pc tv tuner, so i'm good to go i guess. thanks Bauer!

  • nice but i live in the UK and we use a freeview box its kind of like the same thing.

    nice video

  • I am sorry, I thought that this video is about computers, the name says COMPUTER TV.

  • my name is beastswearingen, are all my vids gona be about beasts, and did you read the title of the video

  • ummm, HD reciever on a CRT TV?

  • hmm, how many people seeing this video on the internet, don't have cable tv? lol People watching youtube on dial up? lol

  • Not sure about americans but atleast in most european countries you can get a DSL connection that runs through phone lines and is faster than cable.

    If you're lucky you can get a fiber connection if they have the infrastructure in your area and get 10-100mbps connection.

  • Yeah, but if you have that, you probably have cable too. lol

  • Ha ha wow just buy a new tv. Geez when i bought my lcd tv it was 3k for a 32" widescreen you can now get one for under a thousand

  • we are digital in uk its called freeview :)

  • yeh, also it aint really freeview :P

    cost like £30 for it xD

  • I love those ads on TV where they explain this whole thing. This one old woman's accent was great. "Go to: [The website mentioned] for information on a government coop'n program."

  • That TV must feel so ugly in front of those LCDs behind you.

  • If you are watching Youtube, you more than likely get your TV programming from something other than an antenna.

  • If anyone didn't know what the digital switch is, how would they know how to get to youtube to watch this? XD

  • does this include Canada? and what if i pay for my analog... its not free to air

  • LAST =D lol fuck I feel stupid saying that XD Thank god I'm not going to need one of those =]

  • does this mean i cannot watch tv anymore if i have cable? i dont have a box or anything. its just basic cable through a coaxile cable.

  • no, only people that get there tv over analog or over the air.... you have cable and a service provider

  • American Dental Care, Inc.

  • As low as $12 monthly!

  • i dont know if im too excited for this change

  • pretty interesting nice video bauer!

  • NOOOO

  • come to the future

  • Awesome video guys.
