[Electronics-talk] The digital radio TV from Oehm

Tue Jan 22 19:54:20 UTC 2013

Andy,

You could be right, but whether the TV receives cable channels or has a coaxial cable connection really should be two separate 
issues.  Some antenna systems for digital TV use coaxial cable for connection since they use both UHF and VHF antennas.  If the 
unit uses two or four screws as was often done in the past to accommodate 300 ohm twin lead, one could by a transformer to connect 
a coaxial cable.  I know you know all this, but it may not be obvious to everyone.  I guess to be sure we provide a helpful 
answer, we would need to know why a coaxial cable was as important as it appears to be, and what sort of antenna connection the 
unit has.  It occurred to me that there may have been an assumption that not receiving cable channels means no coaxial cable 
connection, and that wouldn't necessarily be the case, but I am just speculating.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

>Exactly what did the demo say to give you that impression?  You could be right, but I thought the tuner used is a mainstream 
tuner which almost means it has to have a coxial cable jack.  What kind of antenna connection did it say it had?
