As far as I'm aware, the easiest solution would probably be to add a third

and re-insert into the TX GM300. Since you already have audio processing, the
tone panel could be installed Parallel and be only responsible

Stations want to identify by their old channel #. They have spent years
telling you to tune to Channel 4 or what ever.
The computer in your television set reading the digital code from the stations
will take the channel 4 information and translate it to the correct UHF channel

If they are broadcasting one HDTV channel, can they have only two other

The translation doesn't do any good since you need to know the real
