Could some channels be going to low VHF after the signal auction?

To put rumors to rest, TV polarization is remaining horizontal, with the option of going elliptical or circular, as exists today. Vertical-only polarization is not allowed for TV in the US and will not be allowed in the foreseeable future.

whats this about a vertical antenna, read it else were too

 

[Trip]

Yes, *adding* a vertical component. Meaning the antenna would be elliptical or circularly polarized.

Didn't someone use spherical antennas once as a access control measure for their pay TV service? As I recall the antenna looked something like a naval mine.

Most UHF pay services used a yagi antenna cut for the station signal. This was allow for the strongest possible signal from the station

I'm familiar with the narrow-band yagis like the ones that OnTV used. This one was not a Yagi-Uda.

Yes, gibberish: unintelligible talk or writing. You should try reading one of your posts sometime.

I've always had a full-spectrum (VHF/UHF/FM) TV antenna and have long been a proponent of not dismissing VHF simply because it wasn't "HD". Growing up I had only VHF channels and today I receive four. There's one LP station in low VHF, but I don't think I can see it at 50 miles. The full-power version is only a few miles away. I have LOS (I can see the tower lights at night) to about 15 stations and pick up a couple that are just over a hill.

I suspect Nas has some issues and is doing his best.

Trip, it seems that kathrein Scala was displaying a broad panel UHF antenna at the NAB last year that was both vertical and horizontal. Are you saying that it is not legal in the United States?

Horizontal + Vertical = Elliptical or Circular. Those are allowed. Vertical-only or vertical power greater than horizontal power are not.
