gee, these "channels" above 51. Will I be able to tune into one? In other
words, will I be able to dial in 56 and get a programming service?
No, just like I can't buy a receiver of any common type (DVB-T included) to
tune into MediaFlo.
The "channels" above 51 will be removed from broadcast service, but your fetid
imagination still persists in thinking they will be providing broadcast
services. This makes as much sense as XM an Sirrius using DVB-T for
terrestrial transmission.
These channels will be sliced and diced in many different ways, and there is
more speculation going on (you included) than any communications activity that
will ever go on on these frequency tranches.
I note that you NEVER acknowledge your many mistakes. It makes it quite fun
doing business to you.
Here's a prediction -- and I have a pretty good track record with mine, unlike
you. There will be more NEW communications services 10 years from now on
channels between 2 and 51 (including DVB transmissions) in the U.S. than all
the public communications activities on channels above 51. And, the services
on channels 1 through 51 will be real broadfcasting services, not "broaccasting
services in the way that Bob Miller defines broadcasting services."

Not only will they win but broadcasters will lose all must carry rights
and be forced to focus more attention on their OTA spectrum just as new
competition arrives from new broadcasters above channel 51 using COFDM
and MPEG4 at which time 8-VSB and MPEG2's days will be numbered. And to
be specific for John Willkie, not the transport stream.
