Perhaps full power UHF analog channels are corrupting the digital space causing DTV receiver AGCs to reduce gain. Perhaps, in the currently very packed spectrum existing in many markets, there are taboo channel issues. Analog transmitters do not require the tight RF filtering mandated for DTV transmitters and do sometimes splatter signal into adjacent channel spaces. I've seen some ugly spurious stuff come out of older UHF rigs, where obtaining clean RF output was difficult when new and unlikely as they age and where maintenance is marginal. Just some random thoughts.... and the likelihood of such problems goes away after analog shut down. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
