Re: Analog channels

How is that going to work? After the cutoff date stations will only be transmitting in digital. If they are not allowed to convert from digital, where are they going to get the signal from? I knew that they had to continue life line(for a while) in analog but I assumed it would just be a signal they converted from digital. I also think that the FCC is letting them bypass this requirement IF they provide a free converter box until that required date. Which, depending on how many you would have to support, may be a cheaper way out for the cable co's.

Re: Analog channels

I did not think cable companies got their local TV signals OTA. Is this true?

Re: Analog channels

I think some do but most have a direct feed. But that feed is still in a digital form. Think about how individual stations get their "feed" from the head office, digital.
