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
;-)

Thanks very much for the info, and that link.

I actually found a simular link, what i can't tell from the above
link, is if it reflects the current state todate or if it is the
planed/proposed listing for after Feb. .


Do you happen to know what that was listed under?? I tried to back
out of the link and just got error msg


thanks again very much

According to the info I have, NYC stations will be on UHF, except for CH7,
11, and 13, which will revert back to the present analog channels. All NYC
channels are on UHF right now.
