Not necessarily true at all. Many are staying where they are now with their digital signals-pre analog shut-off, which is often not where they are branded. > > If you have a UHF antenna, you're all set, as most of the DTV stations are, > or will be, in the UHF band. Maybe, maybe not. In this market, (Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek) we will have/do have digital stations on channels 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 19, 20, 24, 44, and 45. For what it's worth, all of these stations are between 25 and 45 miles from me (except channel 44 which is about 55 miles away). I receive all of them perfectly on an FM broadcast turnstile (crossed dipoles) at 20 feet (except 44 which sometimes iffy on this pathetic antenna). Laryn K8TVZ
