As most US stations are moving to the lower UHF channels and off VHF


This is, at best, temporary. Many will move back once analog goes
offline.


Nope. This is not true. They will remain on UHF, forever. FCC is selling
the low or high split of VHF....and the lucrative upper UHF channels to
Sellphone companies who hunger for more expensive bandwidth. There is, for
instance, a new 700 Mhz Sellphone TV band Verizon will soon be broadcasting
to Sellphones on for fun and profit.

The greedy *******s are selling off the public's RF spectrum to the highest
bidders and using the money to shore up the Federal Gummit's financial
collapse as fast as possible. It's just like the National Park Service
selling Yellowstone to Disney for a new geothermal theme park.
