Question by catdla1: Is there a HD television antenna that will work in a mobile home?
We live within 20 miles of several television towers. We’ve gotten rid of cable, and would like to just have an antenna. I am concerned that my metal roof and wall will interfere with reception. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Best answer:
Answer by DTVer
You need to go outside with the antenna. Metal walls are a great barrier for radio and TV signals of all kinds.

This is the same scene portrayed in a previous photo, but taken with my Polaroid Land Camera, Model 360. I hope the camera and film I used gives the photo a more accurate depiction of the grotesque scene in front of Ry’s trailer.

TV Rotterdam op taptoe/ television Rotterdam at military tattoo
Image by tdietmut
Ik ben naar het stadhuis Rotterdam gegaan om foto’s te maken. Door toeval ben ik in een groep genodigden (oud militairen) terecht gekomen. Ik kon vrij in het stadhuis foto’s maken. Na een toespraak van de burgemeester van Rotterdam de heer Ahmed Aboutaleb begon op straat (Coolsingel) een mini-taptoe. Op het gegeven moment kon ik geen kant meer uit en zat voor ik het wist in de eerste rij voor het stadhuis. Een prachtige plek om te kijken, maar helaas niet de beste plek voor foto’s. Het gehele programma van het “Nationale Taptoe 2009” was van 1-4 oktober 2009 te zien in AHOY, Rotterdam.
————————–
Het doel van een taptoe is om de militaire muziek en de diverse krijgsmachtdelen van Defensie aan een breed publiek te presenteren. Oorspronkelijk was de ‘taptoe’ een militair trommelsignaal om aan te geven dat soldaten uit de kroegen in de stad naar de kazernes moesten terugkeren en dat de kroegbazen ‘den tap toe’ moesten doen en geen bier meer mochten tappen. De drummers gaven dit signaal vanaf 21:30 uur tot aan de avondklok van 22:00 uur. (wikipedia)
The original meaning of military tattoo is a military drum performance, but nowadays it sometimes means army displays more generally. It dates from the seventeenth century when the British Army was fighting in the Low Countries (Belgium and The Netherlands). Drummers from the garrison were sent out into the towns at 21:30 hrs (9:30PM) each evening to inform the soldiers that it was time to return to barracks. The process was known as doe den tap toe (old-Dutch for "turn off the tap"), an instruction to innkeepers to stop serving beer and send the soldiers home for the night. The drummers continued to play until the curfew at 22:00 hrs (10:00PM) (wikipedia)

“National Interest: Russia and Georgia” Television Programme
Image by Alex Minza
Russia and Georgia have lately been in a state of a deep political conflict. Yet, the two countries share a lot in common: history, culture and, most importantly, people. The Old New Year Dmitry Kiselev’s program "National Interest" on Russia’s biggest national TV channel gathered some of the very famous Georgeans in TV studios in Moscow and Tbilisi.
Famous actors, musicians, writers, film directors, and most importantly, old friends, they were exchanging warm memories, funny stories and were wishing each other love, peace and prosperity. Not a word about politics – yet, the program participants were in fact separated by the political boundaries escalated after October 2006.
It was for the first time that side-by-side with satellite TV bridge there was a low-latency Internet audio/video bridge enabled by Musigy Music Conferencing technology. Using this "music" Internet TV bridge the musicians in two studios performed together creating a warm atmosphere of love, peace and mutual understanding with a universal language of music.

Television Tower, Stuttgart, Germany
Image by David Blackwell.
The Stuttgart TV tower glows in the evening light. Sometimes when the sky is dark and full of clouds, the last rays of the sun flood the tower in sunlight and the clouds turn deep dark blue. This light lets the tower pop up considerably in contrast against the sky. Usually it is all over very shortly after this moment and the tower sinks back into the grey. I thought cropping to a panorama would do this scene good.
Considering the tower stands more than 1 km far away from our balcony the detail resolved by the Canon 5D Mark II with the 24-105 kit lens is great. What you see here is quite a crop from the original but the detail holds up quite well.

Television Tower, Stuttgart, Germany
Image by David Blackwell.
When I saw this cloud form at the horizon I ran for my camera to get a shot of it. When I came back out on the balcony it had started to disappear behind the horizon. I managed a shot before it shrank from sight completely. When I downloaded the shot from the camera I found the light on the tower to be fantastic. The tower seemed to grow out of the clouds. I darkened the sky a little and brightened the clouds some, but other than that the light situation is pretty much as it was. Panorama crop works best,I think, for this kind of motive.
Considering the tower stands more than 1 km far away from our balcony the detail resolved by the Canon 5D Mark II with the 24-105 kit lens is great. What you see here is quite a crop from the original but the detail holds up quite well.
Dust on the sensor reminds me I turned off automatic sensor cleaning. Not a good idea on this camera.

Free-to-Air Channels Available with Satellite Television
If you feel fed up by what terrestrial television has to offer then you might want to investigate the options offered by satellite television. Satellite television boasts hundreds of different channels covering every imaginable genre, from round the clock news coverage to exclusive documentaries and everything in-between.
When you subscribe to satellite television you also benefit from having access to plenty of free-to-air non-subscription digital channels too. Access to these channels is included in satellite television packages and costs absolutely nothing, giving you a lot more for your money.
The free-to-air channels you can watch as part of a digital television package in the UK include old favourites such as ITV and Channel 4, as well as film, news, documentary, music, travel and foreign language channels.
When it comes to choosing which channels to subscribe to on top of these free to air channels, think about the types of television programme that you like to watch.
For instance, anyone intrigued by fact-based programming will like channels which cater towards knowledge-based programming. There are satellite channels dedicated to showing documentaries and history-based programmes, as well as nature programmes and biographies of some of the most prominent figures in history.
]]>
News and events channels may also be of interest to the same people, and there are plenty of channels which update you with round-the-clock happenings from all over the world available on both a subscription and free-to-air basis.
For a chance of escapism, some channels specialise in showing the best American and British drama and comedy, whereas music channels are a treat for anyone with musical interests, with live gigs and interviews with all sorts of artists available. There are also plenty of radio stations available through digital television that are free to air.
Arts, lifestyle and fashion channels are also available for all those who like to keep up to speed with what is happening in these areas.
If you need to keep your children entertained as well then dedicated children’s channels could be a good solution. Movies, cartoons and educational shows are all presented in a fun way and help develop learning at the same time.
Taking out a subscription would allow you to experience all of these specialist channels, without having to miss out on your favourite free to air channels, as they will all be offered with no extra charge by Sky or whatever satellite provider you decide to go with. It is however worth remembering, that while your satellite television package does entitle you access to all free to air channels, the availability of these channels can vary depending on where you live.
To avoid disappointment it is worth checking what free to air channels you can receive in your home before making any arrangements to subscribe to a satellite provider. Also, make sure your television set is fully equipped to receive digital channels too. All new television sets should be capable of receiving digital programmes but older sets may not and if you are working with an analogue television set then now should be the time to make a change and upgrade to digital.

Thanks in advance.

Capitals in the title as usual and italics, maybe bold type. If the letter was about that show, I would use quotations and italics.

NYC: Museum of Television & Radio
Image by wallyg
The Museum of Television and Radio (MTR), with locations in New York (since renamed the Paley Center for Media) and Los Angeles, leads the discussion about the cultural, creative, and social significance of television, radio, and emerging platforms for the professional community and media-interested public. MTR collects programming—radio shows, television programs, and commercial advertisements in both media—and makes that programming available to the general public. In their library one can choose from the excess of 50,000 programs and watch or listen to it at a console—individually, or with up to four people at a family console. They also present screenings in their theaters, with daily programming; and public programs in subscription series that bring together writers, directors, producers, actors, critics, journalists, and artists from many disciplines to discuss everything from the creative process behind television and radio to the current trends in media and popular culture.

the fabled lost graveyard of old television sets

spotted abandoned by the path leading away from one of the car parks down at Long Niddry Bents. Either some lazy, thoughtless bastards drove all the way down there to dump an ancient telly or else we stumbled upon the fabled land where televisions go to die, that most thought was only myth…
Seriously, do you remember this old style of telly, with the incredibly fake ‘wood’ and the wee buttons above the single speaker grille? And how curvy were the screen back then? How times change…
