Izitulo ze-TV zaseArizona zaseSwashi zitshintshile kwi-Analog ukuya kwiDivig
Ukuphumelela ngo-2009, zonke izitishi zikamabonakude zinokusasaza ngefomathi yedijithali kuphela. I-TV yedijithali, okanye i-DTV, ayikhethi.
Kutheni i-DTV iyenzeka?
Iimfuneko kuzo zonke i-digital-broadcasting zikhupha ii-frequencies zokunxibelelana kokhuseleko loluntu, njengopolisa, umlilo, kunye noxakeko oluphuculweyo. Ngelo xesha, iteknoloji yedijithali yavumela iziteshi zethelevishini zendawo ukuba zinikeze iinketho ezininzi zokucwangcisa kunye nokuphucula umfanekiso kunye nomgangatho wezwi.
Ngaba iipetroli zeTV zatshintshela kuzo zonke idijithali?
Umhla wokuqala wokuguqulwa okufunekayo nguFebruwari 17, 2009. NgoFebruwari 4 iCongress yavotela ukunyusa umhla wokuguqulwa ngoJuni 12. Oku kwenziwa ukwenzela ukuba banike ixesha elininzi labathengi ukuba bafunde ukuba kufuneka benze okuthile ukuze bathenge iimpawu zeTV, kwaye bafune ukufumana imali eyongezelelweyo yokwenza amakhonsoni amaninzi kwiibhokisi eziguqukayo ezikhoyo.
Lithetha ukuthini Eli?
Ukutshintshela kwi-TV yedijithali kuphela kuthetha ukuba xa ubukela iziteshi zendawo kodwa unayo ikhebula okanye isevisi yokutya kulezo ziteshi zendawo, unokufuna ukuthenga ibhokisi yenguqu ye-DTV yeTV yakho. Ukuba ufumana kuphela iprogram yethelevishini ye-free-out-air, ukwazi uhlobo oluthile lweTV, okanye i-TV yedijithali okanye i-TV ye-analog, ibaluleke kakhulu. Awuyi kufumana ukufumana ukufumana izikhululo zendawo ngaphandle kokuba wena:
- unomabonwakude nge-digital tuner esakhelwe okanye i-monitor-ready-monitor. Ukuba usunayo i-DTV, kufuneka ulungele umvundla wakho-iindlebe ze-antenna okanye i-antenna yephahla.
- yenza utshintsho oluthile kwi-TV yakho ekhoyo, ukuba akuyiyo i-DTV. Kule meko, kuya kufuneka uthenge ibhokisi yokuguqula i-digital-to-analog ye-set-top ukuze unamathele kumabonwakude.
Yintoni endiyenzayo ukutshintshela kwi-DTV?
Ukuba uhlawula inkampani yeenkonzo zethelevishini, njengeCox Cable okanye i-DirecTV okanye iDish Network, akumele uyenze nantoni na ukuba ufumana inkqubo yakho yangaphakathi kuyo.
Uya kuhamba kakuhle, kwaye utshintsho lwe-DTV aluyi kukuchaphazela. Ukuba awunayo umboneleli wenkonzo yeTV yee-sikhungo zendawo, kufuneka uqaphele ukuba i-TV yakho i-DTV.
Uninzi lweTV edayiswa emva komhla wama-25 kuMeyi 2007 unesitoreji sedijithali, ngoko ukuba uthengisa iTV entsha kodwa uzimisele ukusebenzisa i-antenna, qiniseka ukuba yi-DTV. Ukuba i-TV yakho ithengiwe ngaphambi kwaloo mhla, khangela amagama alandelayo mhlawumbi kwiTV ngokwayo okanye kwiincwadi ezaza ngeTV:
- I-Tuner Digital Tuner
- I-Tuner ye-Digital Yakhelwe ngaphakathi
Amagama athi 'Digital Monitor' okanye 'HDTV Monitor' okanye 'Digital Ready' okanye 'HDTV Ready' ayithethi ukuba i-TV iqulethe i-digital tuner. Mhlawumbi kufuneka uguquke kwi-DTV. Kufuneka ujonge kwakhona incwadana okanye nayiphina imveliso efike kunye nomabonwakude ukwenzela ukuba unqume ukuba ingaba i-tuner yedijithali. Ukuba awukwazi ukufumana loo maxwebhu, ukukhangela kwi-intanethi yokusebenzisa umatshini weTV kunye nenombolo yomzekelo kunye negama elithi 'manual' kufuneka kukuvumele ukuba ufumane amaxwebhu e-intanethi. Ungabiza umnxeba kwaye ubuze.
Ndicinga ukuba ndifuna ukuguqula i-TV yami?
Ibhokisi yokuguqula i-Digital-to-analog-top converter ibhokisi ithengiswa ngabathengisi beendawo abafana ne-Best Buy, i-Sears, i-Wal-Mart kunye neTgethi kunye nabanye.
Ukuba i-antenna yakho yangoku ayifumana iimpawu ze-UHF (iziteshi 14 nangaphezulu) unokufuna kwakhona i-antenna entsha kuba izitulo ezininzi ze-DTV zikho kwiindlela ze-UHF.
Ndifumana phi ulwazi olungakumbi?

- Emva kokuguqulwa kwi-TV ye-digital, ezininzi zezi khululo zaseArizona ziza kubonakala kwinqanaba elifanayo njengoko zikhoyo ngoku, nangona ziya kuba yi-UHF ngelo xesha kwaye ayiyiVHF. Ukuba unayo i-VHF kuphela i-antenna awuyi kufumana ukumkelwa emva kokuguqulwa.
Iingcebiso ezintlanu malunga neDTV
- Emva kokuguqulwa kwi-TV ye-digital, ezininzi zezi khululo zaseArizona ziza kubonakala kwinqanaba elifanayo njengoko zikhoyo ngoku, nangona ziya kuba yi-UHF ngelo xesha kwaye ayiyiVHF. Ukuba unayo i-VHF kuphela i-antenna awuyi kufumana ukumkelwa emva kokuguqulwa.
- Ndayifaka isicelo sam yebhokisi yamatshutshi yam converter ngoJulayi 2008 kwaye kuthatha malunga neentsuku ezili-10 ukufika. Musa ukulibazisa! Ndikulindele ukuba amaxesha okulinda afumane ixesha elide njengoko umhla wokugqibela kaFebruwari 2009 usondela.
- Ikhuphoni yebhokisi yokuguqula ikhodi yelungu le-credit card nenombolo ekhethekileyo. Musa ukuyilahleka! Ayikwazi ukutshintshwa.
- Into engcono ukuyenza xa ufumana isigqebhezana ukuthenga umguquli wakho ngokukhawuleza. Ikhuphoni iphela kwiintsuku ezingama-90!
- Xa ufumana isigqebhezana uza kufumana uludwe lwabathengi kwindawo yakho ekuthatha inxaxheba kwinkqubo yekhuphoni. Nceda kakhulu!
- Awukwazi ukuthenga i-converter uze ufumane i-$ 40 emva koko. Akukho saphulelo senkqubo. Kufuneka ube nekhuphoni ngexesha lokuthenga. Emva kokuba ikhuphoni isetyenziswe, unokulindela ukuhlawula phakathi kwe-$ 15 kunye ne-30 kwi-bhokisi yokuguqula.
