I haven't hooked them up yet, but from reviews hear THIS model
(remote) can control the TV (on/off, and sound) and the convertor box...
With the six "units" below, I think you are "sort of" screwed...
From what I have read, it will be just like I got Cable TV, but without the
cable...
Of course, the convertor can only output a single channel, so anything hooked
to it will only think it is watching/recording preselected and only on channel
3 or 4...
This unit has direct "RCA type" Monitor outputs also... ( "L, R, + [EMAIL
PROTECTED])
I see a big market for control "blasters" for switching channels on a timed
basis
to use with all old equipment...

Rick,
What is the remote control for?
I understood that these boxes were simple bandpass converters that just did
a D/A and passed the "new" analog signal to the TV on its "new" assigned
carrier frequency. Confused.
I use a distribution amplifier to share my one antenna with 3 TVs and 3 VCRs.
Best,
Duncan

I got a couple in the last several days.
They are Digitalstream dtx9900
Radio Shack sells them.
I looked on the Internet, and these were "well liked"
compared to a couple of the others.
What was your question?

Does anyone here have the skinny on these lately available DTV

If so, I have a question/scenario to pose............ :)
