Introduction
The HDS-PB100AV is a personal broadcasting device that is capable of broadcasting HD quality
content from a computer or select media player(s) with IP transport output capabilities to any open
"white space channels" local to the area.
What are White Space Channels?
White space channels refer to the channels that were left over from the analog to digital conversion.
The FCC is the governing body over white space use in the US.
Broadcasting on White Space Channels
The HDS-PB100AV requires an internet signal in order for it to become enabled based upon its
registration with the FCC when installed. The FCC has delegated white space channels between
channels 21 to 51 for personal broadcast and requires a fee to use them. The annual fee is
approximately $55. Note: The fi rst years’ fee is included within the original purchase price of the unit.
Notifi cation is sent on an annual basis that further use will require payment of annual fee.
