- they could reduce confusion among viewers regarding virtual vs R.F. channel numbers since many stations have virtual channels that correspond to their old analogue low-VHF channels.
I think the "back in to play" is largely due to the opportunity to win large monetary payments during spectrum auctions and the ability of stations to have the same or larger coverage areas with less power, thereby saving money.
As for interference, I think this issue will largely be eliminated over time as TV broadcasting technology and error-correcting methodologies improve.
Hope this helps.

I think that is where white space come's in to play virtual and Rf.
ATSC keep the old technology box.like cm-70001.ATSC 03.
New OLD technologies ?
