I-antenna ye-GE Enlighten HD enokukhanya kwe-offset iyi-antenna yasendlini ebukeka kahle, ehlangene enokukhanya okwakhelwe ngaphakathi kwe-offset ekuvumela ukuthi ubuke kalula izinhlelo ze-TV zasebusuku. I-antenna inobakaki omncane ngakho-ke ingabekwa phezu kwe-TV yesikrini esiyisicaba, okwenza ukufakwa kube nomoya ohelezayo.
Ngeshwa, kokubili ukukhanya okugqamile kanye nabakaki abaphezulu kubangela izinkinga ezimbili ezinkulu ngezinti. Umsebenzi ngokwawo awukubi, kodwa ukukhanya kusebenza kuphela kuma-TV amancane, futhi ubakaki uzokhawulela indawo, ngakho udinga isignali ye-TV enhle engasetshenziswa ngokujwayelekile ngemva kokufaka i-TV.
Uma ninakho kokubili, lokhu kungase kube ukutshalwa kwezimali okuzuzisayo. Uma kungenjalo, ungafuna ukubheka ezinye izimpondo ezincintisanayo.
Ikhawulelwe phezulu ku-TV yami, ukwamukela kumaphakathi. I-GE Enlighten ikwazile ukwethula iziteshi ezimbili zendawo ze-VHF kanye nesiteshi esisodwa se-UHF sendawo esenze isamba seziteshi ze-TV eziyi-15. Ngokwesikhundla sami, lokhu kusho ukuthi i-ABC, i-CBS ne-Univision ikunethiwekhi kazwelonke, kanye namanye amashaneli edijithali. Ezinye iziteshi ze-TV, okuhlanganisa isignali ye-TV yomphakathi evame ukwethenjwa futhi enamandla, zilahlekile.
Akudingekile ukusho, lokhu akukuhle. I-antenna ingazungeziswa eshalofini, okusiza ukuletha ama-Fox angaphansi kwendawo, kodwa akukho okunye. Bekumele ngisuse uthi i-antenna ngilususe ngaphezu kwe-TV ngiluyise endaweni ephakeme odongeni ukuze ngithole iziteshi eziningi. Kodwa lokhu kulimaza umsebenzi we-polarization.
Uma uke wasebenzisa i-antenna yasendlini, lokhu kuzojwayeleka. Ama-antenna ngokuvamile kufanele ahanjiswe egunjini ukuze athole indawo engcono kakhulu. Noma kunjalo, ungase uphuthelwe ezinye iziteshi. Yingakho i-TechHive ihlale incoma ukusebenzisa izinti zangaphandle noma nini lapho kunokwenzeka.
Kodwa-ke, uma ufuna ukusebenzisa ukukhanyisa okwenziwe ngemibalabala, awukwazi ukusebenzisa i-GE Enlighten ukuyihambisa. Uma i-TV yakho incike odongeni olungaphandle lwendlu, esitezi esiphezulu, futhi ohlangothini lwendlu olubheke umbhoshongo we-TV wendawo, amathuba okuthi uthi lusebenze kahle azokhula. Udinga futhi ukuba sendaweni enezimpawu ze-TV eziqinile noma ezinamandla kakhulu. Ungahlola okwakamuva ku-Rabbit Ears.
Ukukhanyisa okuchemile kufaka phakathi ukukhanyisa udonga olungemuva kwe-TV ukuze kuncishiswe umehluko phakathi kwesikrini se-TV nodonga, ngaleyo ndlela kunciphise ukukhandleka kwamehlo. Lona umqondo omuhle futhi usiza futhi ukudala umoya omuhle ekamelweni ebusuku, kodwa udinga ukwenziwa ngendlela efanele.
Imvamisa, lokhu kungafezwa ngemichilo ye-LED yezibani ezingaba ngu-50 kuye kwezingama-80, ngakho-ke uma kuqhathaniswa, izibani eziyi-10 ezishumekwe ku-antenna sezivele zizincane. Lokhu, kuhambisana nokuma kwazo kubakaki abaphezulu be-TV, kusho ukuthi ukukhanya akukhanyi njengekhithi yokukhanyisa ehlukanisiwe efanele, futhi ukusabalala ngemuva kwe-TV enkulu ngeke kube kuhle.
Ngiyizame ku-TV engama-intshi angu-55, futhi umphumela awugculisi. Lokhu kusebenza kangcono kuma-TV amancane, mhlawumbe ezingeni lamayintshi angu-20 kuya kwangu-30. Funda le ndaba ukuze ufunde kabanzi mayelana nokukhanya kwe-polarized futhi ubeke amazwana kweminye yemikhiqizo ehamba phambili kulesi sigaba.
I-GE Enlighten iwuthi olubukeka inoveli olunomklamo omusha, nakuba isidingo sokulubeka phezu kwe-TV lwenza lwantengantenga. Ngakho-ke, ukuthi ungayisebenzisa ngempumelelo kuncike kakhulu ekutheni unayo yini isignali ye-TV eqinile kuleyo ndawo.
I-GE Enlighten TV izimpondo zihlanganisa ngobuhlakani izinti zasendlini kanye nokukhanya okususiwe kuphakheji eyodwa, kodwa umsebenzi owodwa ukhawulela ukusebenza kwelinye.
UMartyn Williams ukhiqiza izindaba zobuchwepheshe nokubuyekezwa kwemikhiqizo ye-PC World, Macworld, ne-TechHive ngombhalo nangevidiyo ekhaya lakhe ngaphandle kwase-Washington, DC.
I-TechHive ingakusiza ukuthi uthole inketho yobuchwepheshe ehamba phambili. Siyakuqondisa ukuthi uthole imikhiqizo oyithandayo futhi sikubonise ukuthi ungayisebenzisa kanjani ngokugcwele.
