I’m really new to this digital converter box. I’m planning on dropping my comcast cable service because it is becoming too much. After dropping, I think I will need a converter box. If I get this converter box, what channels will I have? Is every converter box different? Is there a kind of converter box that will only show a certain amount of channels? Input appreciated. Basically… Well, basically all converter boxes the are same, allowing for their sensitivity and reception . You will be getting all the “over the air” digital broadcast stations in your area. You hook up the the same way you would a VCR —on ch. 3 and all. To get an idea what stations you’ll get go t• Select TV antenna and enter your zip. . . Should be pretty close. Don’t forget to scan for new stations once in a while. . . And oh yeah Bust out the rabbit ears.

I’m using a PC with Sony capture card. My digital camcorder is Sony brand too. I’m using Ulead Video Studio 10 to capture & edit video. I was so glad to find this — If you want the best available quality, you need to transfer the digital information from the camcorder digitally. The last time I checked, “capture cards” typically use the AV cable connected to the camcorder. When this capture method is used, the yellow lead carrying the video out of the camcorder to the capture card is analog. You did not tell us which Sony digital camcorder you are using. If it is miniDV or Digital8 the video import from the camcorder to the computer should be done digitally using firewire/IEEE1394a/DV/i. Link (all the same thing). If it is a hard drive or flash memory digital camcorder, the video data file transfer will be over a USB cable. If it is a DVD based camcorder, it really does not matter how you transfer the video – You would either rip the video from the DVD using something like HandBrake (presuming your computer has a drawer-loading DVD optical drive) or you would need an analog/digital bridge from Pinnacle (USB) or Canopus (firewire) if your computer’s optical drive is a slot loader or reads CDs only. Either way, the video quality will not be very good.
