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
As I understand it-- there will be (more, or less), no TV signals in
the LOW vhf (Channel 2-6), there will be some in the High (Ch 7-13 vhf),
and the bulk of the NEW High Def stations will be in the uhf rangeCh 14,
and up.
BUT to complicate matters, there will be NO MAJOR changes to the
existing NTSC programming , on Cable. Also, IF you are receiveing
your broadcasts from TRANSLATORS, their NTSC, and Freq assignments
WILL NOT CHANGE! Someone into tv broadcasting can give you a better
Defination than I can. As for DTV, to NTSC converters, there is a
