Antenna Rotor
Receiver needed for High Definition Over the air OTA broadcast?
My High Definition television did not include the ATSC tuner. It is a Toshiba 30HF83 with a DVI/HDCP input. I had purchased a Samsung SIR-T351 set top box which does recieve the High Definition stations. The problem is I need to have the antenna rotor pointed directly at each individual transmitter station. Another set just purchased which is a Toshiba 37HL67 has both the NTSC and the ATSC tuner incorporated. This set does not require the antenna pointed directly at the transmitters. All stations come in great no matter where the outdoor antenna is pointed.
Is there a better set top ATSC tuner box on the market as it appears to be a major improvement in reception? If possible I would like to have a tuner with HD recording capability. Is there such a model available ? Similar to what is done with a VCR and NTSC broadcast now. I do not want to purchase a service such as TIVO as it requires a monthly fee.
I have that receiver, it is decent. But It is only as good as the antenna that you have. I have a channel master UHF bowtie antenna with a uhf amplifier. I get reception for two distant cities at 35-55 miles each with a rotator. The antenna is on the roof. Remember that HD Tv is broadcast primarliy in UHF not VHF frequencies.
as for the recoding capability, I am looking for the same HD capability in a stand alone box. LG did make one but it is not now offered. Sony has one but it is very expensive over $1000. You can do it yourself with a pc and a hd tuner card and myth tv. I want the stand alone solution and wil wait for Panasonic or someone to do it

Frequently Asked Questions When Considering Using Wind Power for Your Home
Frequently Asked Questions When Considering Using Wind Power for your Home
Due to the high cost of utility usage today coupled with the concerns of our environment by energy waste and pollution, many people around the world are taking a closer look into renewable energy solutions. One of the most popular topics on renewable energy solutions is wind power. Wind is an energy source that is free and constant and will never run out. Ways to harness this power for good use have been implemented down the time. With more efficient technology, one is able to harness all the free wind energy one would need and then some.
The #1 Question:
· How much does it cost? Is all the equipment of a windmill expensive?
With patience, one could pick up all materials needed and build one for less than $200.00. Some of the materials can even be found for free.
· How difficult is it to build?
Today? Not very difficult at all with all the homemade wind generator resources out there. Find a set of plans that are easy, step by step instructions. Make sure there are plenty of diagrams and pictures. And make sure you can understand it. Terminology in layman’s terms obviously is the best. With all the proper pieces, your wind generator can be built in less than a day.
· How much wind is needed?
Very light winds between 5-15 mph. There is a cut in range, when the blades are beginning to produce power and a survival range, the max wind speed it can handle before the blades “fly off the handle”
· How much space do I need?
Wind generators that are homemade take up a small footprint. Using an old homeowners radio tower or TV antenna, many times these items are unnoticeable being now immune to our eyes as part of the landscape. If you are storing electricity in batteries, you will need the space of a small trunk to more if your windmill is larger.
· How do I save money?
Obviously, the less power you have to buy from your local power company, the more you will save.
· Can I make money by going to a wind generator?
Yes, if you live in a location that offers to buy your excess power. This is called net metering. Check with your local power company to see if they offer incentives such as net metering, credits or rebate programs.
· Is it safe?
Energy in any form is inherently dangerous. Just as with any industry, there are hazards for those who work with wind energy, dealing with high winds, heights, and moving machinery such as the spinning of the wind turbine rotor. The damage caused by wind energy is evidenced everywhere. When wind kills, it is well known. Building your own wind generator is safe as long as you put safety 1st.

Some time ago, when our daughter Kate was home for a few days from grad school at Carolina, I prevailed upon her to help me redo a utility room and adjoining half-bath.
