Hi!
Can somebody located in the US near Washington D.C. tell what US-wide tv-channels are broadcasted there, I need to know channels that broadcast mainly news/information. If you also can tell me how to recieve those channels (in Washington D.C via cable/satellite) it would be nice.
Or does anybody know a page where a german can find out how the US tv market works with all ist's local stations?
Regards
Marco
I'm not in Washington, but getting channels in the US is basicly the same everywhere. You need a TV that can work with NTSC signals insted of PAL. You should be able to find some stations with just some "rabbit ear" antenas that mount on the back of the TV. Or find a radio shack near you and get an antena to put on your roof. The sales man can tell you whcih way to point it and what channel numbers to expect to get. Then flip through the channels. Should at the least have the 3 big old networks, CBS, NBC, and ABC. Don't know what numbers they will fall on there. For cable you will likly have to subscribe.

I'm using VDR in Bellevue, WA - but only analog with a Hauppauge PVR-150 card.
The limited FTA channels in DVB-S (Satellite dish) stopped me buying such a card. Also DVB-T won't work as USA doesn't use that standard (ATSC). Neither will DVB-C as they don't use that either!

Hi!
Do you really mean DAVIC, as I read as much manuals as I could get, it seems, that DAVIC is a standard for MHP, or digital internet services with a back channel over cable modems. I found DVB-C and OpenCable as the two standards used in the US, and it seems that Comcast uses OpenCable, but I'm not sure.
Are there some PC-Tunercards for OpenCable with CI Interface to record Comcast's digital programs with pc? And if which CAM would I need?
Or a completly other direction, if not using vdr, how do americans record digital TV with their PCs, as I think of Windows Media Center software, or something else.
For me it seems, that only a few people in the US use digital TV.
Regards
Marco

There are digital ATSC cards available with linux support http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_cards
MythTV http://www.mythtv.org/ seems popular with North American users. Many seem to rely on digitising analog broadcasts via a PVR-150/250/350 card or feeding the output of an external digital box into the S-Video input of one of these cards.
