Use a PC monitor with a Blue Ray player?

Instead of using a TV with a Blue ray DVD player....
can it output to a PC LCD monitor instead?

You sure that that is permanent with the change to digital TV ?

Yes, you can use a blue ray DVD player on a PC fine.
There are also some PC LCD monitors with HDMI inputs too.

There are a couple of ways to do this.
1) Put a Blueray drive into your PC and use a
good media player to watch your Blueray movies.
The advantage of this is that you can also watch
internet video from Hulu, Netflix and their ilk.
2) If you have a component blueray player that you
would like to use, and it has a HDMI output. You can
get a monitor with a HDMI input. But I belive that
you can go from HDMI to DVI with just a passive cable
adaptor. You will have to have a separate audio
system.

My current apartment is down in a "hole" and id have to
put a tower up with antenna on it which I'm not
doing...so in essence I have no signal

You sure no one gets digital TV in your area without a tower ?
I find that VERY hard to believe.
Digital TV is very different to analog TV.

The RF signal still propagates the same way.

Wrong, you dont get ghosts for starters.
And it works a lot better in weak signal areas too.

The RF still propagates the same way. It doesn't
make any difference that there is digital information
modulated onto the carrier. RF is still RF. It behaves
the same regardless of what type of information it
is carying.
Oh, about the ghosts. ATSC tuners and decoders have
circuits that cancel them. You don't see them because
they have been processed out, not because they don't
exist.

Still works a hell of a lot better at weak signal levels where
there is no direct path between the transmitter and receiver.

Wrong with weak signal levels.

Lie with digital TV.

Yes, they still exist, but they are just ignored with digital TV.

Yes, digital signals are less suseptable to interfearence. And
multipath reception is a form of self interfearence. But that has
nothing to do with RF propagation.

Bull! RF is still RF.

Look it up.

You were the only one rabbitting on about RF propagation.

You just said the exact opposite, fool.

Dont need to, its a lie.

Nothing like what you said.

Itiot!
I did not. Re-read the 2nd line. I added emphisis so you can find it.

Because RF propagation determinies if you can get
a signal or not. And how good that signal will be.
The OP said that he could not get TV reception.

You can ALWAYS get a signal in the situation being discussed, fuckwit.
> And how good that signal will be. The OP said that he could not get TV reception.
He didnt even say that, he ACTUALLY said that he needed a tower
to get adequate reception and that is very unlikely with digital TV.

Everyone can see for themselves that you are lying, as always.

Pity about your shit you carefully deleted from the quoting and I have restored.
