I live in Nashville and I ask some channel 17 engineers about why channel 4
was on channel 10. They said that the FCC found that the VHF channels were
not in demand as they thought they would be. There were technical problems
and could not be used. So now they are using VHF. I never heard this but
they said that the stations will use two channels analog and digital until
they are required to return one back over. At that time they can choose
which of the two they want to keep for DTV. At this time according to these
engineers 17 in Nashville is only going DTV not HDTV. They only have to go
DTV not HDTV
