Shane,
On the specs it looks as working with QAM not 8VSB. A modulator like this would be useful to
broadcast into the home an HD signal that another piece of equipment is playing, so existing ATSC
tuners could pick up the signal by tuning to the selected channel and play it thru the TV set they
are connected to, no wires, in other words : your own OTA network.
Notice that the width of the band they use is 8 MHz , not 6 like here. Note that the person is
presenting this product primarily as a tool to test HD-STBs, so it could be a good to have unit when
installing home theaters that cover the full house, or to a HD service man for in-house calls, that
needs to make sure the HD-STBs work with his own signal.
Another comment is that many years ago, I believe in 1999, there was an old Dish Network HD-STB
(model 5000 I believe, it should be on my 2002 or 2003 reports) that use to have an external OTA
modulator to feed his own satellite signals back to itself thru that port, that approach got
discontinued with the arrival of the 6000 model, perhaps some of the list that had such unit could
highlight how that modulator worked for them, but it was direct connection, not a wireless
broadcast.
In summary, it works with PAL SECAM, at 8 MHz, under QAM OTA, with Europeans STBs, nothing that fits
our standards for OTA.
Best Regards,
Rodolfo La Maestra

Looks neat, but it only works in Europe where they have DVB-T set top
boxes, I believe.
