Mark Squires, Nokia: "The most important thing to realise about the difference between mobile TV and digital TV is that with digital TV at home you've got an unlimited power supply and a large aerial on the roof of the bulding, both of which are quite handy.
But TV screens are notoriously power hungry — in mobile versions the backlight and speaker will need to be on throughout the programme.
Meanwhile, European trials in Berlin and Helsinki are using existing terrestrial TV masts to broadcast compressed signals to handsets with additional receivers.

 56 Swedish TV masts
The fifty-six masts in the package are actually designed because of the wish for them from many of the users of Swedflight scenerys – especially from those who often fly VFR.
In reality the masts can differ some feet in height and some of them have only one flashing light, something that may be corrected in a later edition.
The location of the masts has also in some instances been moved somewhat compared to the exact one in the coordinate table to better suit the mesh and the surrounding landscape in the simulator.

The tallest structures on Earth are TV towers (such as the one for KVLY-TV [4] in North Dakota, which is 2,063 feet high), and nearly all the great skyscrapers of the world--Eiffel Tower, Empire State Building, Sears Tower, Hancock Tower--have been festooned with radio and TV masts.

 Mobile TV and data
Mobile TV in its general form also appears to be rolling out in three distinct, if converging, areas: telecom, as an extension of phones (smart-phones); the IT industry, notebook receivers and rich media PDAs; and as an extension of television, out of the home.
The history of modern, digital mobile TV effectively began in 1996 and 1997, when German broadcaster RTL conducted trials of a DVB-T service on slow moving trams in downtown Cologne and on the German autobahn in a yellow Bugatti at speeds up to 300km/h.
DVB-H trials in Berlin and Helsinki are using existing terrestrial TV masts to broadcast compressed signals to handsets with add-on receivers.

News the TV stations won't report: When their own crews frequently electrocute themselves by raising their Electronic News Gathering (ENG) truck antenna masts directly in to power lines.
Or forgetting their 12 foot vehicle clearance when the mast is down, and driving the mast straight into bridges and structures.

Matters came to a head a couple of years ago when vigilantes felled a mobile phone mast in Wishaw which was believed to have caused a spate of cancer cases nearby.
Her comments came after Professor Anthony Barker, an eminent scientist investigating mobile communications' effects on health, told a high-profile, national seminar that there was no proof of phone masts posing safety risks - a threat as negligible, he said, as TV transmitters.
The 1997 report to which she refers, Cancer Incidence Near Radio and TV Transmitters: One, studied the amount of leukaemia cases among people living close to the mast which is in Four Oaks; using national cancer rates as the control group.

The signals appear to come from the masts of the high power UHF stations which radiate the 5 channels of the UK terrestrial television service.
As seen on a spectrum analyser 14 kms from one of the TV masts, the noise level background appears to rise +10dB over a band of frequencies which stretches all across 430 to 440 MHz and some way beyond at either end.
The signals are apparently being radiated from several widely separated TV masts in various parts of the UK, and they are destroying radio amateur low signal strength experimental work such as Moonbounce, Mars vehicle tracking, Sporadic E, Meteor Scatter, FAI and Auroral studies, over a wide arc of bearing.

The key component is the 'tuner', a device that decodes the digital television signal and sends it a video display (your TV) and your audio system which could be either the speakers in your TV or in more high-end systems, your home theater sound system.

 'No health risk from mobile phones'
Delivering a lecture at the University of Ulster Coleraine Campus, he said people should not be concerned about having masts at the end of their roads.
Prof Barker pointed out that TV transmitters are much more powerful than mobile phone masts, but most people do not worry about TV masts because they are usually far away from them in rural areas.
He said mobile phone handsets transmit a maximum power of one quarter of a watt, and the signals from them are much more powerful than those from a base station.

Italy is expected to be a fertile ground for the new technology because Italians number among the world's keenest watchers of television and owners of mobile phones.
Companies hope the marriage of mobile phones, which are already used by about 315 million Europeans, and TV, which is watched by almost 160 million households across the continent, will be more profitable than building cameras into mobile phones—which has proved commercially disappointing to date.
But critics argue that although rival broadcast mobile TV services could run on existing spectrum and transmission networks and are being tested in advanced countries such as South Korea, complex licensing problems, fewer channels and an inferior technological performance could make it too expensive.

This mast radiates the 999 kHz medium wave service of Radio Malta in parallel to their FM outlet on 93.7 MHz.
The transmitter power quoted in the 1999 WRTH is 5 kW, but the signal appears to be quite weak across the island and I would not be surprised if the power was now only in the order of a few hundred watts.

I know a few people in Brissie (and Sydney) with unwanted 60cm dishes wondering if they could get the dish removed (if it is still there - yay!!) and using the RG6 cable for digital TV (as many want their old VHF antenna replaced).
A couple of tips, always use quality F connectors with correct crimp tool, Clipsal have an F connector supplied with a snap in F through coupler that snaps into their style of wall plates, you crimp up with bull nose pliers, general result.....
Digital TV is a lot less forgiving to poor signals.
