Question and Answers

Question:

1) I’m in need of a DMOD that would take clear QAM and turn it into analog (Ideally agile, so we can put it where we want). Do you have anything like that?

2) I need to demodulate one QAM channel wit one program and modulate it as a standard Analog RF NTSC channel

Answer:

1) How many QAM channels do you need to convert to analog RF?

How many TS's in one QAM?

As I mention, this is the best choice: H-STB-QAM-ATSC

This tuner has QAM RF input, you can decode any program and it has also ANALOG RF output channel 3 or 4

If you need a different analog channel than 3/4 we would need to add an additional Analog Agile modulator as a second box. It would take the composite Video Audio from the first STB decoder and output and agile RF analog NTSC or PAL Channel.

Question:

Background: I have DISH Satellite TV. It is a two-channel receiver. Coax delivers the signal from the antennae to the DISH box. Channel one goes to the family room TV via HDMI cable. This is the “main” channel.

Second channel goes to the bedroom via Cat 5 cable – about 60 feet up through the wall across the attic and down to a central panel. The signal is sent from central panel box to an outlet box in the Master Bedroom via ? From box to TV via coax.

If possible, I want to convert the coax signal to HDMI. Is that possible with your device?

Answer:

Your hunch is correct. Our box is for QAM/ATSC; or CATV frequency in the band between 5-1000Mhz

You have a Satellite Dish, which is LBand, lives in the frequency 1-2Ghz; these are entirely different formats.

If you have a Dish subscription account its best to call them for another box as they are licensed subscriptions; buying a box online can work in some cases if you still purchase a CAS card from Dish; but in our case the RF STB is for clear QAM or ATSC 8VSB, not a satellite signal for converting coax to HDMI.

Question:

1) Will this device be able to replace the attached device?

2) cable provider is xfinity. It doesn't appear to find channels when I connect the RF COAX directly to TV. I can seem to find if its ATSC or Clear QAM....what does that specify?

Answer:

Yes, it looks like it. So long as the box you have is ATSC or Clear QAM, then it will replace it.

Who is your Cable TV provider? if you connect RF coax directly to the TV and scan it, is it finding the channels?

2) I see, if you have Xfinity, means you're paying for service which Cable QAM, your service is more than likely which means you require that specific box from Xfinity in order to get your channels.

Our units are Clear QAM with no encryption, used in different applications; the point is you should be contacting Xfinity for another box, because otherwise you won't be getting the channels you're paying for.

Question:

1) Will this modulator decode the HDMI signal from a Directv receiver and modulate it in the clear or will the display need a STB to decode the signal?

2) RF Input Decoder? Are you referring to a normal QAM ATSC tuner or something else?

Answer:

1) Correct. Our units will modulate HDMI inputs and send out the signal as Clear QAM so no STB is necessary, so long as the televisions have RF input decoders built into them.

2) Yes, generally speaking televisions have RF decoders/tuners built into them. Hence why you can plug in RF cable and get a picture without an STB, because they decode Clear QAM(cable) and ATSC(Antenna); which is what televisions have been using for decades; however I would point out that many new models of tv's coming onto the market don't have RF inputs anymore.

Question:

We recently bought a new smart TV and we’re replacing an older TV that’s about 15 years old. We had it set up with a coaxial cable. This cable was able to put through the cable box, the receiver and the Bose speaker system as we have a surroundsound. The new TV does not have coaxial connection so I am looking for something to convert to HDMI. My question is do you have a tour converter with the three coaxial plugs and the HDMI in it and I’m wondering if that will work for us to put everything through with the HDMI

Answer:

This would be the correct box; so long as it has the outputs needed for your surround sound as well, this will take Coax RF and convert to HDMI.

Let me know if you have any questions; you can purchase directly off of the website.

Question:

Hello, do you have any of the HD Set-Top Box Tuner / Decoder ATSC QAM DVB-T
DVB-S2 in stock? I have a newer TV that does not have a coax input. Will
this work so I can make the cable work on the TV? if so, can you please send
me a quote so I can make a purchase? Thank you.

Answer:

We do have several CATV RF Set-top boxes supporting various modulation standards, although they will not work with the RF from your Cable providers.

They can decode CLEAR RF QAM only, cable companies send encrypted RF, so you have to use their STB's to decode the signal.

Those units can decode Off Air RF, because it is not encrypted.

Where are you located, what modulation standard is used in your location?

Question:

Can you connect the H-STB-QAM tuner box to an older analog TV via a matching transformer?

Answer:

In the Specifications you will see these

2) Decoding Clear CABLE TV QAM RF
QAM to HDMI
QAM to YPbPr
QAM to CVBS - Digital to Analog conversion
***QAM to ANALOG RF CH 3/4 as a Digital to Analog converter

So this will only work if your current QAM TS is CLEAR.

The analog switch for RF out is on the back and you can toggle between channel 3/4

So you will input the RF on the back, and also take RF off the back; F-Type connectors are on the left hand side.

Hope this helps! You can order directly off of our website if you like. Units are in stock.

Question:

The customer (Videotron a cable caster) received it.
What they told me is that it works fine with off-air signals but what they were expecting to do is to decode analog RF QAM signals with it and it doesn’t work.
Is it normal? Is it just a matter of configuration?
Is the H-STB-QAM-ATSC able to do that? If not, do we have a solution that would do it?

Answer:

QAM and ATSC are both digital signals. The box you have is for digital RF.

Analog RF is NTSC; this box can not decode NTSC.

Not sure who got the idea it can do that, the only analog portion of that box is that it can do QAM to ANALOG on RF CH3/4 which is a switch on the back.

IF they need QAM output then we have 2 steps solution, ATSC input to the STB, then HDMI to DHMI QAM modulator

Question:

Does this box compatible with all or most cable providers such as wow

Answer:

The cable companies encrypt their QAM channels, so you would need to use a particular STB which is supported by that cable company.
Our STB supports CLEAR QAM without any encryption.
The easiest way to check if your QAM is encrypted or not, please connect the CAble TV feed to your Tuner TV, if the Tv scans channels OK, then you have Clear QAM, if not your Qam is encrypted and you Must use Cable Tv STB.
There is no other way around it.

Question:

We have a college campus customer who has a campus-wide cable system but now are having to buy smart TVs that don't have tuners. I'm looking at the H-STB-QAM-ATSC unit. Seems it would work for this application? What questions do we need to ask the customer before being confident? We've discussed some of your products before but have not become a dealer so might be interested in that as well for this and other projects.

Answer:

Yes correct, so new TV's that don't have RF tuners built in all have the same issue, if you have a QAM system in place for RF, you need a tuner to convert the signal from RF to HDMI.

These boxes are exactly what you need. The only question you can ask if it's QAM or ATSC, but since its a campus wide circuit, I'm 100% positive it's going to be QAM.

So you plug it in, do a channel scan on QAM (cable), then use the remote to change the channel to your desired preference.
