TV Signal Dilemma

With the repack coming soon, the Yagi
will be at an even greater disadvantage......UHF TV will end at
Rf 36.... JoeAZ: Would you please post a link to your above comment? I've been reading up on the FCC repack this holiday as to how it might effect OTA reception, and did not see anything about UHF frequencies ending at Rf36, only around Rf51. Not doubting you, but just would like to hear it from the FCC horses mouth.

At least we have another 36 plus months (maybe more) before it finally settles down, hopefully. I know the FCC did say they did not want OTA viewers to have to scan their TVs more than twice to update broadcasters changes, or once for viewers to adjust their directional antennas rooftop or indoors. How kind of them!

But I guess this all came about to give more spectrum for cell phones. T Mobile got the lions share at auction with around 8 billion bid! I should have realized when watching Star Trek back in the 1960s, that the crews communicators would be all the rage in the 21st century! Geez.....
