Actually, the stake is supposed to ask the FM Group for the ATLONA, and to buy their own converter if the stake goes with a cheaper model. Our FM Group is out of budget money, so we bought a cheap one that worked just fine.

If the FM Group budgets for it and gets it for us next year, I still wonder if the extra expense is worth the cost.

It's in the Help Center instructions. I'll find it after the ward chili cookoff this evening. First things first. [grin]

Help Center > Meetinghouse Technology > Webcast > (Under Get Started) Purchasing Webcast Products

In the third section under Video Signal Converters, the ATLONA (recommended) is purchased by "FM Group or online or local vendor" and the other two options are purchased "Online of local vendor". We always like to use the FM Group option when it is available, and it is in this case, limited to the FM Group budget constraints.

Hmmm. Interesting. I'm not so sure as it implies that FM will pay. I think there's any number of things that can be ordered though the FM Group out of local unit funds.

The paragraph above says "Purchase online or through a local vendor using local unit funds." This may be a "late change" to what was "local units pay".

All the other documents I found are fuzzy about anything other than the VidiU.

Our FM Group says it does, and we are not going to suggest otherwise to them.

My original question remains. Is it worth the Church funds to pay for the 10 times more expensive converter? What is the 10 times more advantage? Reliability? Quality? Other?
