Final Drivers for 3CXTV589DT
I sent to the NewtonTalk Mailing List:
Has anyone been able to tune the UHF channels using the 3COM NTSC TV Receiver? The 3CXTV589DT seems to pick up channels 2 through 12 no problem. (The local PBS station comes in great, and looks pretty good in 16 grays.) But our local WB channel, FOX channel and UPN are all in the UHF range.
Do I need to get a different antenna? Right now I’ve just rigged up a small FM antenna, using a pigtail, similar to the N-type connector that I used on my Lucent WaveLan silver card.
I’m hoping that PCBMan’s work on the wireless coax adapter will let me forgo the entire broadcast realm and hook into my cable line. I’m sure Comcast will be surprised when they see my MP2000’s converter box emulator show up on their network! 🙂
The final cool piece will be when Hiroshi gets his Bluetooth driver finished and I’ll be able to change channels and volume using my Sony/Ericsson phone, just like I’ve got it controlling my iTunes.
Anyway, if anyone has any tips for getting those UHF channels to come in, let me know.
