Dear Sir,

I am a guy from Mumbai (India), I was looking for a site to enlighten
me about bands UHF, VHF, S, Hyperband. I couldn't find a site which
would educate me on the subjecy. Some companies only gave an overview
explanation which seems marketing their brand.

Although, i want to know whether TV with UHF, VHF band is sufficient OR
with todays range of satellite channels S & Hyperband is also required.

We are subscribers of cable network. Our cable provider is unable to
transmit/receive nearly 40% channels.
I beleive there could be one out of three possible reasons. 01.The
cable provider is unable to receive these channel's signals on his
satellite.? OR
02.The cable provider receives this channels, but is unable to
transmit/forward due to lack of proper transmitting equipments.? OR
03.The transmission is OK. However, since our Television set has only
UHF & VHF bands, it cannot receive these channel signals.

Can you guide me for a solution. Please!
Moreover, if i want to receive channels like ESPN, Star Sports, TEN
sports. What could be the requirement for TV, Receiver in terms of
dish/antenna to receive this channels. Can you guide in which range
does this satellite channel falls. Is it possible to receive this
channels from a normal antennae.?

Regards
Javed

I guess, your guess is wrong :-)

There is a number one reason that reads: money!

Many channels charge for their use. If your provider wants to
relay those to their customers, they have to pay the owner of the
channel. And that's usually a charge 'per viewer'.
Which means, that they pay for any user that might tune in. Which
makes 'adding a channel' an expensive exercise, not a technical
challenge.

It is a little hard to understand exactly what your describing, but if
my interpretation is close: It may be a simple case of the TV installed
on the cable system not being setup correctly. If the TV is set for
"ANTENNA" (or, something simialr), you will not be able to view all the
channels on the cable system. You must go into the TV's "SETUP" menu
and change the option (perhaps specified as "MODE") to "CABLE".

On one of my TV's here (a Panasonic), the options are "CABLE" and
(stupidly) "TV". Helllloooooo! It's _all_ "TV". :-)

I think your #3 is correct. If your TV is only UHF/VHF it will not receive
the cable channels. (It should get channels 2 through 13, as those channels
are the same frequency for VHF and cable.) You need to get a new TV, or a
cable box. The cable company should have these. Or you could buy your own.
The cable box receives the cable channels and converts them to be received
by your TV on channel 3 or 4.
