This is an article from someone who has just crawled out
of a deep cave, after almost 10 years. And he claims the
UHF spectrum assigned to TV will be expanded.
Quoting:
"In 2008, or whenever Congress ultimately decides,
over-the-air broadcasters will abandon the VHF frequencies
they now use for Channels 2 to 13. The federal government
will use some of that bandwidth for public safety, but
auction most of it off to private carriers.
"In return, the broadcasters will get expanded bandwidth in
the UHF range and change their method of broadcasting from
analog to digital."
Small wonder the public is all confused. He does put the
price of an STB at around $100, though.
