 Channel Plus ModulatorJul 28, 2007
By William Djinis
"Space Engineer"
I am very disappointed in this product. The directions given to set the modulator frequency were very difficult to understand. Once resolved I felt satisfied that I had now set the frequency and would not have to do it again. To my regret, the first power outage, even though only for a few minutes, required setting the frequency all over again. We get frequent power outages with thunder storms and I am greatly disturbed that I must reset the frequency with every power outage. For my case the problem is "compounded" because the modulator is not easily accessible. If I had known about this deficiency in advance, I would not have purchased it.

 Channel Plus 3015 Video Distribution System Review.Mar 20, 2010
By Norman Allum
I was a little concerned to read one reviewer had some difficulties when, during a power outage, this required setting the modulator frequency all over again.
It has been my experience, even with brief power disconnections and those that lasted a few hours (I pulled the plug!) The original programming remained in memory.
Considering the date of the first review it is possible these later models have been improved.
When viewing the manufacturers web site [...] under Product Information. One feature is described as: Programming retained in memory during power failures.
This device has performed exactly as advertised and allows me to distribute over the air, antenna, broadcasts plus one pre-selected satellite TV program to four different receivers around the house. Technical support has been excellent and have confirmed, while the Model 3015 only provides a fixed gain for the UHF frequencies 14-64 and CATV channels 65-125 (Excluding 95-99). The amplifier will pass all VHF and UHF channel frequencies between 40MHz. and 100MHz.
I find the instructions to be relatively straightforward, however be aware of the differences in the newer digital TV frequencies that have been assigned prior to the June 2009 changeover. To find the "Real" and "Virtual" channels assigned in your area. Refer to a TV signal location tool similar to that found at [...] or [...]
The Channel Plus 3015 instructions also refers to "Herringbones", "hum bars" or "noise" when attempting to program the "In House" channel. This refers to interference that may be experienced when tuning to an analog channel and not a digitally transmitted signal.
In fact, what may have been a perfectly good signal, directly from the antenna, on (for example) digital channel 17.1. This was totally blocked when fed through the modulator.
Not being able to immediately identify the factory programmed frequency; I contacted technical support via e-mail giving all the details found to date. Within 24 hours I received a reply that confirmed digital 17.1 was analog 20 and the "In House" channel number had been set to 20.
By resetting this to channel 14, channel 17.1 (20) was now received at full strength. There are no local channels broadcasting on or near 14 in this area.
While all this may be somewhat confusing, one must basically remember the Channel Plus 3015 can be only programmed with analog channel frequencies. That is those numbers from 2 through 69 that you used to select on your TV before the digital changeover. This may also present some questions when tuning in to your programmed "In House" channel. Depending on the TV model or set manufacturer, some sets may allow a selection of the new channel direct from the keypad of your remote. While on other receivers one may have to go through a Channel rescan to register the new channel. The channel ID should indicate "Analog" or something similar.
If you using an older analog TV with a digital converter box, usually set to view on channels 3 or 4, you may have to turn the digital converter off before selecting the newly acquired channel. One of our systems uses this configuration. Although one advantage is being able to display the digital signal strength on a numerical readout. This can be very helpful when adjusting the direction of the antenna or locating an inactive channel during programming your Channel Plus 3015.
