Wintv-hvr-1600
Tested out WinTV=HVR-1600 today.
Using Gigabyte GA-M61P-31 motherboard with built in 6150 graphics 256 motherboard video ram allocated to video, 1gig DDR2 RAM on motherboard, AMD XP+ 4600 cpu chip.
Quality of reception varies greatly with aiming of my little Radio Shack indoor UHF antenna that I got on closeout for $2.
I am getting 1041 WDAF, 1051 KCTV, 1061 KTAJD1, 1062 KTAJD2, 1063 KTAJD3, 1064 KTAJD4, 1291 KCWE , 1501 ION, 1502 qubo, 1503 IONLife, 1504 ION Worship, 1621 KSMO using the ATSC antenna in.
Reception on none of these is flawless but all are BETTER than the corresponding analog channels with the same location, antenna and tuner.
Would like to add KCPT and KMBC and I am not sure why I cannot receive these.
The idea that over-the-air digital reception is all-or-nothing is misleading. It is true that in any one instant of time you either get reception or not. You will get a momentary freeze or audio loss if the signal is lost briefly.
