I suppose that if stations limit themselves to high VHF in the VHF band, we
could have a smaller, friendlier VHF section.
But Cliff, this is not different from what DBS users are having to contend
with, right? For the HD channels, and local into local, won't additional
dish antennas be required? I'm starting to see many dual-dish homes around
here.
For folks who are migrating directly from OTA NTSC to DTT, probably the same
antenna(s) will work. Especially if they wait for the broadcasters to
optimize their digital tier, after analog is shut off (such as WETA is
supposed to do). By the way, you'll see this same scenario unfold in Euro
DTT transitions. In some cases, the DTT transmitters are on azimuths not
previously used for PAL.
