Will it help standard tv from satellite? If the signal goes through the Oppo will it be likely to look better?

One very helpful website for beginners and even pro's for capturing, pc processing, or tape to DVD conversion is: www.digitalfaq.com (look for the handy index links in the website's left-hand sidebar). Another more complicated but very complete website is www.videohelp.com. Your main problem, for starters, is that so little video processing software is available for Mac computers, and much high-level hobbyist's software and converters found on the 'net is free but won't work on Macs. Still, the videohelp.com site has info on just about everything. For better definition and noise reduction, you need to find codecs beyond DivX, which use very lossy compression. The two best and affordable MPEG/DVD encoders are CinemaCraft (CCE basic) and TMPGenc, but I don't know if they work on a Mac.

maybe, but it wont do much good. it is not designed to receive digital TV signals

It will work, but the antenna will not stand all the way up. It will still show a good image or video

I am using Over-the-Air antenna to receive TV signals. Put the setting on Plug&Play, let the program detects the TV signals automatically, and i found I can receive about 15 broadcast stations. The drawbacks are signals effective by the weather conditions, sometimes I saw "the signal is too weak or broadcast is temporary unavailable". But most of the time was working very good. If you subscribe Cable service, I presumed this TV works pretty good. And price is very affordable.

For what it's worth, I think any device between the source of the signal and the destination of the signal will cause at least some degradation whether it's audio or video. I'm 66 and wear glasses and I was not able to perceive any difference on my plasma HD tv. I pipe my satellite signal, 2 blu-ray players and a dvd player through my Yamaha receiver. I am not a purist and with my equipment, the audio and video are just fine. With top-end equipment and eyes that work better than mine, there might be a visible difference. I hope this helps.

Yes... just need to have the receiver out where it gets a good signal from the satellite.

I believe it will help but I think it works best when directly connected to the unit''s am antenna input rather than sitting on top of it. You will have to move the antenna to different locations to get the best reception for your stations.

It does provide better reception.............depends on your surrounding stations and topography

I doubt it, you would need to ask your local television stations if they are broadcasting a mobile DTV signal.

If you only have one TV it might. If you are splitting the signal, it may not help. Try it and if you don't like it, return it.

If the signal that you're trying to receive is decent or at least ok and it is the receiver that you're having a problem with yes the antenna will help you but remember if the signal is noisy the amplified antenna will probably be just be amplifying noise I hope this helped... Hauser

It looks as though it will, however mine did not increase signal strength (relative to where the box is placed) or mimo speed. Dual antennas would be a much better solution to weak signal. Plus you could have longer cables, this is only decent for portability.

Thanks for the feedback Frank, I appreciate it.So in theory, the monitor should be able to get OTA signals, but possibly due to weak signal reach, it won't, hence the need for an antenna... Makes sense.

Yes it will. The receiver is the main part you need to bring in the HD signals.

The short answer is that you don't (or, at least, you shouldn't). The Oppo will pass audio to your receiver via HDMI. You might want to check the settings to make sure that HDMI audio is enabled... check pages 18 & 19 of your manual.The coax/optical option is there for people like me who do not have an HDMI-capable receiver.

the oppo is a blue ray player. the play station three and the cable sound like they are plugged into your tv and you've run out of hdmi connections. save your money and get an amp that will accommodate your connections needs. way to think 'out the box', using equipment for more than it was intended.
