You say ... >Channels 14 and up are in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band. Those >frequencies do not lend themselves to wide distribution via cable. >Your cable provider cannot and therefore does not send programming >via UHF frequencies. What I have been thinking about was discussed here earlier, I think. I want to get one of the amps that modulate baseband audio/video and or remodulate Chan.3/4 to a UHF channel. Then send these UHF signals throughout my home with COAX. Also I would like to connect an Ant. to the COAX with a trap for the new UHF channels I've created. I can add amps and distribution equipment but it sounds to me like the UHF channels might not work well for long distances of COAX.? Is that what your saying or will that work but it is more effecient to use VHF type frequencies for the cable cos? BTW, if some one has more inputs on those modulators/re-modulators I'd like to hear them. thanks in advance. -- Andrew L.
