This isn't "mis-information". This is personal experience. DTV requires
MORE antenna to work without breakup. Where a little snow is perfectly
tolerable, even a flinch of digital breakup once in a while can make it
unwatchable.

Your sources are mis-informed. If your too close to the transmitter than likely
your fighting multipath which is more harmful to DTV than analog, but it
absolutly requires less signal to noise to get the DTV signal than analog. I

Since it's "only" $4 billion we just won't bother looking for it ending

The transistion to the 'core' spectrum started happening around 2001,
mostly with the low power translators.

The numbering of the digital channels is to help the people that know
nothing of TV past turning it on and changing channels. The station that I
work for is channel 4. Our digital transmitter is on channel 34, but, the
viewers know it is 4-1. That way they do not get lost in the channels. I do

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

Nope. The TV will search available channels and do all the work for you.

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
such as in Tucson
Many of my local channels are using tags that have the ANALOG channel
name. For example, while KDKA TV-2 DTV is on channel 25, the tag is 2-1
which is what you enter to see that channel. Either they are going to
move back to channel 2 or things are going to get even more confusing if
you have a cha
Far as I'm concerned there's no need to jam the airways with mind-numbing
content from every hamlet. A few
regional advertising supported Ku band satellite channels should suffice. This
would free up a LOT of

It would be interesting to know if the analog TV shutdown is going to occur
in CA & MX. If not, we might see a number of new analog stations across
the border. The Fox affiliate in San Diego is XETV ch. 6, & might end up
being the only major analog TV station remaining after Feb. '09

There is a DTV allocation in Harrisburg, PA for channel 2.
Originally, they were all going to be on UHF, but that changed.
