RadioDoc 58ef2c0 Premium,ExMod 2000-03 join:2000-05-11 ·AT&T Midwest	reply to Ahrenl ATSC Digital Television uses the entire channel with less power than equivalent analog but that doesn't mean there is more room for anyone because of it. I can show you spectrum analyzer shots if you want. Comcast's alleged "digital" channels are very much not the same thing. They compress the shit out of them to cram 12 streams into one 6 MHz channel space and they look like crap. -- Toolmaster of La Grange.

Ahrenl join:2004-10-26 North Andover, MA ·Verizon FIOS	reply to RadioDoc said by RadioDoc : ATSC 'digital' TV uses the same "incredible amount of resources" (channel bandwidth) as analog, so how do you think eliminating analog will suddenly free up gobs of space? TV stations have to choose which channel they want to keep (their current analog or digital assignment) but those digital assignments were made inside the same bands as analog. It's not that there will be a great wide open frequency space suddenly appearing in 2009. The FCC will lift the freeze and just go back to granting more TV licenses. Digital uses less per channel. Any free space provided from discontinuing the broadcast of Analogue (as in many places both are simulcast, as I stated) will probably just be used to broadcast more digital channels. They definitely have the ability to broadcast both, however. Comcast does it now, at least in the Northeast.
