If my HDTV -Sony KDL52XBR4 does have build in ATSC tuner, could I
connect satellite dish directly to the TV input?
No. You could connect a regular antenna to it and get all the ATSC
channels. Most of them are HD.
Thanks. Very informative. Living in "Alabamer" I see alot of those old
3'-5' dishes out in the boondocks. I always wondered what that was
about. I don't think I need to be adding anything to my setup as I am
quite content, but thanks again for the info.

Re: OTA vs STB signal ...ATSC and NTSC, ATSC and regular cable, NTSC and HD cable, or another ... Some systems with enough bandwidth available may put only 2 HD channels with several SD sub-channels on 1 QAM channel. ... The raw HD TV signal would not even remotely fit into a 6 MHz ATSC 19.4 MB/sec signal without compression.... I have compared the HD picture quality between what I got on the cable system against the OTA broadcast many times. ... (alt.tv.tech.hdtv)
Re: Favorite multi-channel DAC with serial interface? ... we had 2001->2006 and now 2006->2009, and for the past year or two I've seen active advertising about "HDTV" and, while many of these "HDTVs" don't have ATSC tuners built-in, the ATSC designs are already in about the 3rd generation and by 2009 probably will be present in all but the cheapest TVs. ... While we have a lot more channels than in the 80's the content did not improve IMHO. ... We'd be ok without TV if the news was available on the web with proper video.... (sci.electronics.design)

Re: Spec clarification ... Does it mean that the NTSC turner can receive cable and OTA but that the ATSC can only receive OTA? ... The Cable-Ready TV - in the days when all was analog - tunes to the NTSC cable channels which were placed at 6 MHz RF spacings in the cable signals. ... the base encoding is ATSC which is sent both over cable and the air. ... Digital cable uses QAM with terms like QAM64 or QAM256, but cable systems can and do scramble many of the QAM channels. ... (alt.tv.tech.hdtv)
