"HD Digital TV is Mind Control"

Well...technically it's not "HD" in the exacting sense. All broadcast stations except for the rural low-power ones are now required to broadcast in digital, which is not necessarily the same as HD.

It will be many years before stations are "all-HD." Most stations now have the capability to broadcast live HD network stuff, but syndicated programming, local news, and commercials are lagging way behind. The reason for this is that it's extremely expensive to upgrade a station's digital media servers to HD. Basically, what you have in 95 percent of stations is non-network Standard Definition programming being broadcast digitally. It'll be that way for a long time to come, methinks.

Most affiliates are going through a serious revenue crunch, and that doesn't look good for upgrading equipment. My station has had its upgrade timeline pretty much put on hold until the local auto sales market recovers - they're responsible for a majority of our incoming revenue.


You beat me to it.

HD is digital but digital is not neccessarily HD.

That is to say that an HD signal must be sent in a digital fashion whereas one can send standard definition (SD) in either the old analog fashoin or in a digital format..

(There was an analog HD on the table but it would have taken a wider freq channel which would have caused many headaches and still would not be able to be handled by older TV's)

Why bother to go through all that hassle in 2011 when the world's going to end in 2012?

Because I still need a job during that last year?
 
From poster Code Black on "The Blackvault" who claims to be a nuclear engineer;
Digital TV will allow technology which can replace any content on the fly. Even the broadcaster cannot detect it. So what you see on TV could be controlled and even at a local level, even directed at a single location. Digital makes it all possible. I haven't been able to find the exact time and date but next week ABC is taking up residence in the White House in the first American Big Brother Broadcast to push nationalizing health care, and there will be no dissenting opinions allowed. This puts the MM directly under government control.

Not to mention that there is someone now proposing, as part of this nationalization of health care the implantation of a "device" in humans to track their health information. What's wrong with doctor's computers?

I didn't want to mention this but about a month ago, I was listening to the radio at home and suddenly the broadcast went dead. That's nothing odd, happens from time to time for a few seconds, a station has a burp. But this was something entirely new since not only that one station went dead but ALL stations went dead, AM and FM. And I checked 3 different radios so it was not my equipment. This phenomenon lasted 5 full minutes. I thought a nuke had gone off and it was EMP. It was obviously a test, or one hell of a solar flare! It happened. The control of all of America's media is a project under way. Like I said, Americans better wake up.

The thread is supposed to be 9/11 but for some reason CB keeps shunting off to worlds unknown..............
 
Wow. That guy has absolutely ZERO idea how broadcasting works. I mean, he seems to know how to turn on a television and manipulate the dials on a radio, so he's got THAT going for him.

[carlspackler]Ya know. Which is nice.[/cs]
 
It gets better. When I told him that his concerns werte bunk he replied(this time staying somewhat on topic)

You are still not understanding what I am talking about. Your station's transmission, however many middlemen operators it goes through is eventually broadcast over the airwaves locally. You are looking at the return signal from A to B to C to D to... however many entities in between. But eventually the signal is broadcast from Y to Z, the viewer's TV. You do not see that signal. You cannot see that signal unless you put a TV in that local location receiving that end broadcast.

But anyone with a transmitter can get between Y and Z and change the signal. That has always been possible even with an analog signal but you couldn't change a live broadcast because you couldn't do it fast enough. With the signal being digital you can use high speed computer equipment and alter the signal in real time.

Delayed broadcast is nothing new. All live shows are delayed so inappropriate material can be filtered out, amongst other things. But the sports broadcasting industry developed the digital processing technology to do much more than that, allowing live material to be removed in real time and replaced with other material, or the end points spliced together to make time, all digitally. That technology when combined with digital broadcast allows a man in the middle attack to be used on television broadcasts.

The GOV, or anyone else, can stick a truck near your house and overwhelm the broadcast and send you anything they want and no one but the receiver will see that signal and the receiver can't tell its been altered. And if the GOV inserts laws to allow them to connect at the Y location (like cellular) they don't even need the truck. Would it work for a single house? Maybe not but with other transmission type technologies developing laser like directional capabilities it wouldn't surprise me if it would at some point in the future. Even if the transmitter has an omni-directional signal you can overwhelm that signal with a directional signal to a specific end point and only that end point sees that signal. Everyone else sees the omni signal. Digital transmission makes it all possible.

and later this gem of paranoia;(bolding mine)

You're just not seeing the big picture. Yes they would target individuals or groups and if they piggy back off the Y transmitter output, YOU and your station aren't going to see anything different from your input. Consider insurrections, consider what's happening in Iran today. You don't see the political use of this? Man there is all kinds of uses for this. You could make someone look crazy if they went public with something only they saw, yes? You could stick a UFO behind the president's head or a fly for crying out loud.

So according to him I, as a broadcast technician, and our master control operators who as part of our job actually monitor the return signal from satellite, cable and local transmitter, will be unable to notice that someone has changed what we are broadcasting because this will be done only to specific persons who watch TV using a rooftop antenna.
 
Notice that the only reason in there that it isn’t already being done with analog broadcasts is the point-blank assertion that “you can’t do it fast enough”, as if the viewer would ever notice or give half a turd that his John And Kate Plus Eight broadcast is on a delay.

My god. It's made of crap!

What a loon. There have only been two confirmed instances of BSI in the entire history of the United States that I'm aware of. It would be even harder to hijack a digital signal then it would be an analog - that's been done before.

What he's saying is theoretically possible, but it would be so widespread and convoluted there's no chance it could be pulled off without SOMEBODY noticing. Our transmitter, program feed, off-air, cable system throughput, and other things are monitored 24 hours a day.

You'd have more luck pulling this off at a local cable provider's network control facility. Bungles have happened there before *AHEM* Superbowl Porn in Tuscon *AHEM* but still...the man has a thoroughly muddled and ridiculous understanding of the way television signals work.

At least, that's what the NWO Media Control liason for my local area is telling me at gunpoint to say.

<<sighs>> yes,,,, yes it is. I do not know if this is worse than the "my TV has a camera" line of carp or if its ranks up there with it but on a slightly different plane.

I have been trying to tell him that what he is proposing would not be any easier with digital than with analog. In fact if one were to broadcast a higher power digital signal towards someone's house then there will be an area around that house where anyone one else's antenna will be getting both the real and the spoof RF at levels that will be comparable, at which point their digital TV is going to effectively throw its hands in the air and say "I can't work like this!" and pout and not show anything at all.


I remind you that he claims to be a nuclear engineer. In fact in one previous post where he had been talking about fusion he stated " I am a nuclear engineer, when you see me running do try to keep up". This was after I took him to task on his contention that nuclear fusion had not been generated yet by using laser's to increase the temp and pressure of the target.

Yes mistakes do occur. We specifically monitor the cable feed to make sure our simulcasts are handled correctly. If we are showing for eg. "Dr.Phil", and so is another channel on the local cable plant, then as the local broadcaster we can require the cableco to send our programming on those channels during that time period.
the problem occurs in several ways;
- the simulcast does not take place
- it takes place but they fail to have that channel revert to the original station at the end of "Dr.Phil"
- they simulcast our programming over the wrong channel.

On one occassion I noticed by chance that in a time slot when a previously sched'd simulcast had been canceled that while they did not put our programming over that of the other channel, they instead put that channel over another affiliate of the same network we belong to. (a complete and utter ballsing-up).
the satellite co's seem to get this right more often though as they do the same for us for any receiver registered to an address within our broadcast area.
