K6BEN being retransmitted digitally (over ATSC)

This is me retransmitting the analog 70cn K6BEN ATV repeater output on ATSC over 33cm.

I recorded this video on my iPhone and I guess you can't turn it sideways and have YouTube figure that out. Sorry.

Ben, W2NYC asked me to clarify a point. This is not any sort of assertion that digital in this case is any better than analog. Since the analog receiver output was fed into the digital transmitter, it could not have been any better than the source material. The fact that I was getting a P3 signal has more to do with my antenna / receiver setup than with the K6BEN repeater. And the only reason I mentioned it at all was to explain that what I was seeing was likely not the same as what comes up on YouTube because of YouTube's video compression.

If one was to buy the PC electronics down converter for 430mhz, is it necessary to also buy the channel 3 receiver box to make things work ?
