There are none in mine but I know we can receive DTV as I have setup a few dozen people with converters/antennas. How long before some hardware is available? What happens if I fire up on channel X and take out the neighbors very weakly received DTV channel, even tho its marked as clear here? Some people have very large DTV antennas that get stations from 100+ miles off. They are not in the expected reception zone and I assume any gear I turn up would degrade what is already a very bad signal. Is that in direct violation of the rules or just the spirit of it? Still some 22's out there it looks like.
