Tv Antennas and Reception

W16BE / WYDC has been approved to receive Federal Grant Money / our tax dollars , to convert to Digital http://www.ntia.doc.gov/lptv/lptv-fi...Awards-NY.html , but I do not know when will change to digital , when the change to Digital does take place then more then 1 channel- subchannel will be transmitted. . W06AR / wney.com , did not find any Digital conversion information. These 2 Analog channels are receivable now with a 50 foot tower , 2 different antennas 2 preamplifiers , 2 sets of coax cables , and remote control A/B switches comes to about 500 dollars or so. As long as these 2 channels are Analog , I don't think it's worth the money. When the 2 transmitters convert to digital and have digital sub channels to receive then I think it will be worth the effort and money.
