RF Modulators and Bad Audio

[Phil Nelson]

Yah, when I used my Zenith DTV box, the audio was definitely low. You could increase it a bit by switching from stereo to mono, but not enough to make it seem normal.

Not a big issue because I eventually gave on DTV and pitched the converter in a bin somewhere. We're in a lousy reception area and the local channels are included with cable, so why bother?

Well... I like free over the air for the vintage TVs since when they were made that is how they got their signals: over the air.

But I also like over the air because generally the picture quality is better. Satellite transcodes and cable rate shapes which reduces quality.
