I understand why you have set the PSIP values to display 23-1 and 23-2.
What happens when you have to give Channel 23 back to the FCC at the end =
of
the transition? Will you still call "RF Channel 55" Ch 23?

Ralph,

Telling our digital viewers we are on UHF channel 55 is meaningless to =

since all the consumer will ever see is 23-1 and 23-2 as a channel =

They will never see the number 55 anywhere, they cannot enter the number =
55=20
(at least on the Samsung, Zenith, and Sony examples we have here) so why =
advertise "Digital 55"?
Cheers,
