I had never seen TV skip until I was 19.. when I was watching local
channel 2 (KATU) in Portland and over the span of a couple minutes I
ended up watching the news on CKCK channel 2 in Regina, SK, Canada. RF is
black magic..

One thing that I will most most after the DTV transition is VHF TV skip;
I still have (nighttime) dreams about TV skip. I imagine that the
signal management controls in DTV rcvrs will simply disable display when
confronted with skip. Any thoughts?


Skip will be a lot more of a challenge, especially since the number of VHF
channels will decrease, but it will still be possible. As long as the
systems are compatible (US/Canada/Mexico), the television won't care a whit.
Capture effect may work even better than it does for analog. As with analog,
though, open local channels would be easiest.
