- You say ...

- >Channels 14 and up are in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band. Those

- >Your cable provider cannot and therefore does not send programming
- >via UHF frequencies.

- What I have been thinking about was discussed here earlier, I think.
- I want to get one of the amps that modulate baseband audio/video and or
- remodulate Chan.3/4 to a UHF channel. Then send these UHF signals throughout
- my home with COAX. Also I would like to connect an Ant. to the COAX with
- a trap for the new UHF channels I've created. I can add amps and distribution
- equipment but it sounds to me like the UHF channels might not work well for
- long distances of COAX.? Is that what your saying or will that work but it is
- more effecient to use VHF type frequencies for the cable cos?
-
- BTW, if some one has more inputs on those modulators/re-modulators I'd like to
- hear them.
- thanks in advance.
