Interesting, thanks. For some reason I didn't see this response until I came back, because I have a follow-up question. First, it's not that I don't believe you (really, I do), but can you think of a reference online that can describe this further?
So the person that told me this information also told me that the two channels that I currently receive that are VHF (WABC and WPIX) are changing to UHF, so it is another reason why I shouldn't bother with a VHF antenna. Do you have any information about this? I've checked the FCC site to the best of my ability, and don't see any reference to either of them changing any time so.
I've also checked their wikipedia pages, and it seems like they have submitted for a change (as well as a signal increase), but have not been approved, and it's been more than 18mo.
Thanks for any ideas.
