I hope this is the right place to ask, but there is this TV/Radio antennae plug in our Den - Unfortunately it looks like someone cut the line where it comes out of the house near the old TV antennae mast. Any suggestions on fixing/leveraging this for DTV and/or FM antennae for my component stereo setup that I am planning to put back up? The lower plug on that faceplate is so dam weird..

It appears to be ladderline wiring inside - do I reconnect and use for a FM or Ham radio, or do I use it to pull through some COAX & CAT6 to connect the DTV & FM antennae? 🤔

EDIT: I pulled the faceplate and plug off, and it is ladder line inside. The plug is a Wineguard model T32-U which only had the TV/FM connected the lower UHF plug was disconnected - and neither had the ground connected.

Ich weiß gar nicht, was alle immer mit #glasfaser , #breitband und Abgehängt sein wegen #Kupfernetz und #coax haben.
#technologieoffenheit ist natürlich die einzige Lösung und dieses ideologische Festhalten an #5G und #Lasern wird die deutsche Wirtschaft ganz bestimmt ruinieren.
Die einzig wahre und Technologie offene Lösung, die auch in Bayern akzeptiert wird ist bereits im #RFC2549 beschrieben und hat potentiell nahezu grenzenlose Bandbreite https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2549

Dieser kleine Kerl bringt erstaunliche Klangverbesserungen an meinen aktiven Lautsprechern zustande. Gebe ich den Musikstream direkt per USB in die Aktivlautsprecher, ist der Sound eher mäßig. Der DDC scheint das USB Signal zu „reinigen“ und zu reclocken. Dann wird es per S/PDIF Coax oder optisch an den DAC der Lautsprecher gegeben. Das Ergebnis ist eine erstaunliche Verbesserung der Soundqualität.
Highly recommended.

De toekomst van kabelinternet over de grens

Afgelopen week vond in Duitsland het congres van het Fachverband Rundfunk- und BreitbandKommunikation (FRK) plaats. Daar is veel gesproken over d

Hat ein Wesen hier Erfahrung mit Ethernet-over-Coax?

Nachdem #DLAN zu kacke ist, #WLAN zu weit weg und Kabel legen nicht möglich sind.
Bleibt nur #EoC.

Ich habe hier ein stillgelegtes #Coax Netz von analog #KabelTV.

Kann ich das verwenden?

In den Tutorials steht was von "Rückkanalfähig". Ggf. muss die Fernsehverteilanlage geprüft werden. So etwas habe ich aber gar nicht. Geht es dann nicht oder eben genau deswegen schon?

#audio #electronics #coax Can anyone identify this connector? It's the inlet for the 75ohm FM antenna this receiver calls for: smooth barrel, male, no threads or design elements to engage bosses. (The waviness on the barrel is just schmutz)

It feels like the imperial system is in over its head when we start talking about thousandths of inches.

AND TO SHIELD GROUND

WHY

where I can get to it, the conformal coating itself does not appear to have become conductive, that was my first idea because it's pretty crusty BUT that's not it

#electronics #coax #switch #WHY

"antenna," "aux 1," "aux 2," and "cable" are all just... connected together. "vcr" is actually wired separately and as far as I can tell actually gets switched on the signal line, though the shield line is common across everything.

but all the switches are there. and i think they're all real. why would you do this. why.

the amount of resistance from desired source to output seems to change some but it also seems kinda random. selecting the source you're testing sometimes seems to make the resistance go _up_?

this is an archer-branded switch so I think it came from radio shack originally. and every time i say "you have failed me for the last time, Admiral SHACK" i am again proven wrong.
