I think that's unlikely to happen in this life. Permissible COFDM is more
likely, but nobody's going to abandon 8-VSB households. If the FCC decides
at some point in the future to de-allocate ota broadcasting, they won't be
replacing it with a different form of broadcasting.

Actually, there are two DVEO products that would probably allow me to do
the testing and give me a digital side to the system in the basement to
play with as well:
The MPEG LEGEND, OP1 analog NTSC composite input
and the
eYe Catcher frequency agile 8VSB modulator.
That would sort of parallel the MPEG 2 QAM system I worked with for
several years.
But I'll probably have to wait until the US switches to COFDM so I can
get a whole rack full of digital stuff for $35 bucks on EBAY.
