hi

i was just wondering once nyc hits the deadline to switch
broadcasting to digital if the channals we use now

2-13vhf would continue specifically would other channals in
that range be avail like say ch6

or will it just be say one or more digital channals stuffed into
the same space now occupied by ch2 for example depending on how cbs
wants to do it




also here uhf 14- had really only a few channels that were
broadcasting should we expect many new channels to be
broadcating in that range or just mostly same



wondering if were going to see a shift of the primary channels
here being more 14- vs the current heavy use of 2-13

reason being most have antennas that are really for 2-13 and
alot are wondering if the uhf is going to be hot they will obv
need to add new antennas


thanks


could use a little help here i tried searching under google and
fcc i found alot of stuff marked proposed but nothing seemed
to indicate would would be after the current interm layouts ie
what it's going to be their plans after feb so if anyone has
any links or info i'd appreciate it much


This is exactly what you want:
http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_publi...CC-08-72A2.pdf . It's
alphabetical by state, so scroll down to NYC on page 34.

Yes, the action on UHF will be hot, since Channels 2 - 6 are not great for
digital TV signals and are being avoided.

Also, please note the existence of newsgroup alt.video.digital-tv which is
much more on-point for your question.

BTW, newsgroups are not for text-messages. Using punctuation and capital
letters makes it easier to read your questions. Thanks. (Or maybe tks ;-)
