We got Channel 15-1 SD, Chan 15-2 HD and Chan 15-3 Weather Radar....now go
figure that one out....I thought there was only room for 2 broadcasts per
channel allocation.....saw it on one of the ATSC terrestrial set-top boxes.
I suspect tho' that SD is on 15-1 and 2 right now. But the display did
indicate what was what...

| 16x9 format can be 480p (doesn't have to be) or 720 or 1080. When you SEE
a
| 1080 once you will know it. My set does not indicate what
format/resolution
| it is in, but I have seen channel 9-1 and channel 9-2 in 16x9, that
| precludes 1080 due to bandwidth restrictions, and it looks a world better
| than DVD, which leads me to conclude that those programs would be 720p.
| Then go to another station such as 27-1 and the picture there is a world
| better.
|
| I read somewhere recently that the stations now can have a "smart"
| capability which moves bandwidth between sub-channels. So 27-1 could be
| 1080 while 27-2 is the weather radar, and if the 1080 sub-channel needs
more
| bandwidth it robs it from the weather radar (like that display is going to
| eat digits and people are going to complain about the lost resolution).
