Repeater Builder5a. Re: digital TV channels Posted by: "MCH" [email protected] ncc74656_uss_voyager Sat Jan 10, 2009 7:45 pm (PST) That was the original plan, but the TV industry whined about losing them, so they are back in the TV lineup. There is a CH 2 DTV station in Harrisburg, PA.
I would say the NAB list is severely outdated. Joe M. Better check the facts: The Broadcasters did not want the VHF low band back, thay wanted channels 7 to 57 for digital.

DTV in low band VHF is marginal at best due to impulse noise and interference. Jack Davis K6YC Chief Engineer KTXL-TV/DT
