are VoIP codecs good enough to encode V.34/V.90 or do they just speak modem on the client side, transmit the bytestream to the other end and then covert it back to audio like the cell network?

Panty Saluter posted:Am stations use low power at night and raise it during the day. Not sure why, maybe to reduce interference? I suppose signals go further when it's cooler. The ionosphere changes when it's being shielded from the Sun by the Earth and signals propagate farther at night (and during the winter).

all the AM stations that mattered in this neck of the woods switched to FM in a desperate attempt to appeal to the phone-with-FM-tuner demographic

BangersInMyKnickers posted:ATSC is going to be kinda ownage because its going to an IP multicast carrier with h.265 data and so the number of channels/audio carriers/whatever you want to jam in your frequency band is exclusively dictated by the amount of bandwidth and what resolution/bitrate you chose to broadcast in. so you could do like 4 1080p channels, or 1 UHD channel and maybe 1 additional SD channel, or 16 SD channels, or whatever other combo inbetween you can dream up BangersInMyKnickers posted:it also allows you to get things like alt language carriers over your broadband connection while the video feed comes OTA and the tuner box will take cake of syncing them together before sending them up to the screen these sound like a real neat features that nobody will ever use

you'd think they'd just replace all the encryption keys on a regular interval and make the side channel continuously cycle through the current & next master encryption keys encrypted with each subscriber unit's unique key
