4What is the difference between Analog TV and Digital TV
An Analog TV signal consists of a Video carrier (Picture), an Audio carrier (Sound), and a Chroma carrier (Color). These carriers are transmitted in one 6 MHz wide RF channel.
Digital TV on the other hand, is the transmission of both Audio and Video signals that have been digitized. A digital channel contains 38.8 Mbps. You can fit 10 SD or 2 HD Digital channels within one 6 MHz wide channel.
Simply put, a digital channel has a larger capacity and higher content quality than an analog channel has. Yet, these digital channels reside in the same 6 MHz wide spacing as a single analog channel.

Then if you return the product in pristine condition in the 30 days, we will issue a full credit. Items like Antennas, Test Equipment and Tools are not eligible for T&E. A T&E agreement must be completed first.

10Can I buy less than a full reel of cable?
In most cases we try to accommodate request for less than a 1000 ft. of drop cable as we stock many cables in 100’ lengths and 500 ft. lengths. If it is hardline cable which is normally on a 2400 ft. reel we often can get a “short” reel from the factory depending on their availability. These shorts normally are between 1000 ft. and 2000 ft. We also offer a cutting service on hardline we have in stock and will consider any reasonable length cut.
