I wouldn't say you have no choice. There are a couple of rounds of channel
declarations to go through, so chances are you can find a compatible in-core
UHF in most markets. The real question is if you have a high VHF NTSC and
an in-core UHF DTV, do you even want to stay on UHF and deal with those
power bills forever?
If you are a top 30 Network affiliate station, by the time the transition is
completed your UHF transmitter will be at least 10 and maybe closer to 15
years old anyway.
