The_Franz posted:the cable company used to charge you based on how many jacks were 'active' in the house. anyone with a brain just told them 'one' and split it themselves turns out this is *really* easy to gently caress up. we got a visit from the fcc/faa over my teenage cable hack job interfering with aircraft on an approach path over our house

Volmarias posted:How the gently caress does your cable TV interfere with aircraft turns out aviation radio uses vhf at the same frequencies as analog cable used for channels 14/15/16. if you have lots of un-terminated cable ends in your house, you spew rf all across those frequencies (and many others)

Volmarias posted:Unterminated cable ends jizzing EM radiation sounds to the level that it would interfere with aircraft sounds like bullshit, but I don't know enough to refute it https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/cable-signal-leakage seems like it would be the cable operator instead of the fcc showing up today, but in the 90s it was an fcc enforcement van that rolled up

chaosbreather posted:i am shocked at how insanely low quality 'HD' broadcast tv still is, the 5 seconds a year i accidentally flip to it. it's like 720p at an insanely small bitrate with massive compression artefacts. i have clients with video ads embedded on the website, they would be blasting me all day if their ads looked as bad as broadcast 'HD' tv does but by compressing the gently caress out of the signal, you can cram in a dozen content-free subchannels! hopefully things get better with atsc 3.0, but not gonna hold my breath
