Chuck- My Ebay account was hacked a few years back. The way you get it back is to contact support there, and they will call you at the phone number on record to verify. But you initiate it all, not them. And I don't remember a SSN ever being used with Ebay. Are you actually not able to get

I can only speak for WIVB and WNLO there, but as far as I know all of the Buffalo stations were alocated UHF digital channels, and all have elected to stay on UHF. The decision to stay UHF, go VHF, etc depended a whole lot on the end result, ERP, propagation, and received interference all get
