[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 703679, member: 175144"] With analogue on its way out, the manufacturers have already ramped down on delivery/retransmission using this standard. A digital equivalent output would be nice but it's not going to happen soon, or at the right price. Anyway the Belling-Lee connector has been obselete for yonks. [I] Invented at Belling & Lee Ltd in Enfield, in 1921, it became a standard for BBC broadcasts. It was originally intended for medium frequency broadcasts, where accurate impedance matching of an antenna connector was not a concern. Once Short-wave had been brought into the home in the mid 30's it was found the Belling Lee connector could also cope with these without appreciable loss. With the advent of Very High Frequency broadcasts, or VHF, the lack of impedance matching was found to cause signal reflections in the cable, leading to noticeable signal distortion on much over 90 MHz.[/I] [/QUOTE]
