Digital TV Transition FAQ

1. I understand that the DTV transition is government mandated, but what is the reason that the transition is necessary? Aside from giving your TV a better picture and a program guide; the government will use the old analog signals to communication with police, fire, and ambulance services.

2. What do people need to do to prepare themselves for the transition if they have:

a. cable with an analog TV? Nothing!

b. cable with a digital TV? Nothing!

c. no cable with an analog TV? Call 1-866-374-4625 ask for a Converter Box and for an antenna, please have your zip code ready.

d. no cable with a digital TV? Your current antenna should work after June 12th, if it does not, simply call 1-866-374-4625.

3. What if someone has one analog TV and one digital TV? What do they need to do to prepare? Each TV would need to receive a signal from an antenna; in addition to an antenna, the analog TV would need a converter box. You can have 1 antenna split off to 2 different TVs, or simply 2 antennas.

4. In what case is a converter box necessary? Is a converter box necessary for both analog and digital TV? A converter box is only necessary with older analog TVs. If your TV is Digital, you are ready for the transition.

5. When you purchase a converter box, does the package contain clear instructions on how to hook it up? Yes; each converter box has detailed instructions that will help you set it up, we also offer free support by calling 1-866-374-4625 and press 7.

6. Is a converter box the same thing as the cable box that sits on top of your TV, or is it different? Different, a converter box will not allow you to receive cable channels. It will give you the same local channels you traditionally would get using a simple antenna.

7. How do you go about hooking up your DVD player or VCR to the converter box? Will old DVDs and videotapes still play correctly after the transition? A converter box will not affect how DVDs or video tapes play. Instructions for connecting a DVD player or VCR to a converter box are included with the converter boxes. However if you should need additional support please call 1-866-374-4625.

8. I’ve heard that people will receive additional channels as a result of the transition. Is this the case only on digital TVs? Is it the case only on TVs that have cable? Are these additional channels merely digital versions of network stations, or do they truly represent “additional” programming? If you have Cable, you don’t need a converter box. New programming does come with the digital transition. Stations like PBS now offer secondary stations like the Creative Channel. These stations are not cable stations.


9. Some people have complained about problems with their digital TVs, such as tiling, or video that doesn’t sync with a program’s audio. Will the transition correct these problems or do you foresee an increase in these problems that will need to be addressed after the transition? If you truly have a Digital TV (with a built in tuner), your picture and audio shouldn’t have any problems. However these issues that are described are usually corrected by using the appropriate antenna. If you have an analog TV set, a converter box with the correct antenna should fix your issues.

10. If people turn on their TVs on June 12th and there are problems, who can they call for help? (I presume they can call their cable company if they have cable, but who can they call if they do not have cable)? If they have Cable, there should call their cable company. For any other questions they can call Solid Signal at 1-866-374-4625 for any issues.

Solid Signal now offers The Ultimate DirecTV Plus HD DVR Program Storage Solution

TenBox is a high quality High Definition and Multimedia eSATA storage box created with DirecTV Plus HD DVR in mind.

DirecTV subscribers love the versatility and ease of operation of the HR20/21 DVR, but most agree that with so many programs to record, its 300 GB capacity is not enough. Too often it is necessary to delete programs that have not been watched yet in order to make room for newer recordings.

Using TenBox as a companion to the HR20 increases its recording capability to up to 2 Terabytes (2000 GB) that is 660% more than the original capacity! This means up to 1300 hours of regular programming, or up to 330 hours of Hi Def (Mpeg 4) programming!

What is special about TenBox?

TenBox was designed to be used with DirecTV Plus HD DVR, and has overcome the 3 most common problems of data storage boxes in the market: excessive heating with continuous use that may result in failure and loss of programming;excessive noise coming from the unit;computer-like “looks”.

TenBox solves the heating problem with the use of 3 extra silent fans (magnetic levitation technology) and especially designed heat dissipating hardware that creates an air flow keeping the system within operating temperature range at all times. A “cooling mode” switch allows for selection of “quiet” or “maximum” depending on working environment.

While noises such as clicks and hums may be acceptable for an office or studio, they are annoying in a living room or bedroom, especially during the quiet night hours. TenBox has minimized noise using the best and most silent Hard Disk drives. HDDs and fans are mounted on custom made hardware with special anti vibration materials, reducing noise and hum to almost zero.

TenBox exterior is a stylish box that will enhance any room. The graphite color metallic chassis with blue accented LEDs and blue ring power switch will blend in with furnishings and high end TV, video and audio equipment.

TenBox connects with the HR20/21 via the eSATA port, making communication and programming transfers fast and accurate.

TenBox is easy to operate, just plug the eSATA cable to the HR20/21, restart the receiver and you are done!

TenBox is made by TenLab, a US company with nearly 20 years of experience in the design of video products that has earned a reputation for good quality and best customer support.

Solid Signal Charity Involvement

The LUNGevity Foundation has acknowledged SolidSignal.com as a Silver Sponsor for its charitable contribution.

LUNGevity Foundation was founded by seven Chicago-area lung cancer survivors in November 2000 to increase funding for lung cancer research.

Upon being diagnosed with lung cancer, these individuals learned that while tremendous progress had been made in detecting and treating many of the deadliest cancers over the last two decades, little progress had been made to save the lives of individuals diagnosed with lung cancer. This slow progress was due, in great part, to a lack of funding for lung cancer research. While funding for breast, prostate and colorectal cancer research had grown exponentially over the years, there had been no corresponding growth for lung cancer research.

Since its inception the Foundation has committed to co-funding more than $5 million in innovative lung cancer research projects at the foremost cancer programs in America. LUNGevity Foundation partners with the American Cancer Society Illinois Chapter, American Lung Association, American Thoracic Society, Goldman Philanthropic Partnerships, and The CHEST Foundation (the philanthropic arm of the American College of Chest Physicians) to make its research awards.

Named one of Charity Navigator's top-ten fastest growing charities in 2007 and 2008, and awarded its coveted four-star rating for sound fiscal management in 2008, LUNGevity is the premier grant-making nonprofit organization funding lung cancer research and providing support to people affected by lung cancer.

The mission of LUNGevity Foundation is to save lives and to ease the burden of lung cancer on patients and their loved ones.

In order to fulfill its mission, the Foundation:

• Funds the most promising, innovative, and impactful medical research into diagnosis, treatment, and cure of lung cancer.
  
• Provides emotional support for lung cancer survivors and their loved ones by
  creating community.
