Re: High Def without the box?

I am doing this with about 20 different programmers and give it out to my customers free with the expanded basic. As long as the contract allows for the signal to be unencrypted, and almost all are, you are fine. In addition almost all HD simulcast signals are free to the cable company. I currently use a Drake MQM1000, which run about $1,400. This unit has 2 ASI inputs. I then use the receiver the programmer uses for the HD feed and set it to output via the ASI and run a jumper from there to the MQM1000. The MQM takes about 5 minutes to hookup. It will modulate 2 feeds onto one channel, which is agile with this unit. All digital TVs will pick up the signal and it looks great! This setup works great, we don’t ever have troubles. In addition, this will produce the best looking HD pictures I have seen. When you go through compressing at the headend and decompressing at a set top, the pictures don’t look as good to me. This is the case with satellite as well. Let me know if this helps.
