I stand corrected. I believe that's still a relatively low number of stations, though.
According to RabbitEars, there will be 60 stations operating on VHF-Lo after the repack with 17 moving there from UHF or VHF-Hi.

It represents about 10% of the stations moving to VHF but a drastic drop in reception area for those in the markets affected.I stand corrected. I believe that's still a relatively low number of stations, though.
Well, since you presumably support (ie: agree with) the guy you posted the video of, and HE says the problems should go away, why do you doubt him?
No, not "many" of the stations will be relocating to low-V. Some? Sure.
And why would I comment about hi-speed broadband? I'm not arguing about the broadband coverage anywhere. My statement is simply the majority (ie: MOST) people can receive OTA. MANY choose not to.
Satellite internet covers about anywhere, but it is expensive. I know people that have had it and speeds are low and there is a data cap.
So in your entire DMA, the vast majority can not receive OTA? Or just the counties near you?
I disagree. I live in the Pan Handle of Florida and live in a apartment. I can't receive any of the major networks in my area and I had to argue with my landlord just to put up my Dish antenna, so you could imagine me going and asking to put up a 30 foot high antenna. Also I'm not receiving my Fox station because of the Meredith disputes.Also let me add that some folks around here could probably get a little bit of OTA if they put a big enough antenna high enough in the air. Unfortunately most people either can't or won't spend the kind of money it takes to do that.

I know that. Still figured it would cover some of my loss. Honestly, the cost for my tickets would cover a subscription for Center Ice, but I'm not looking to watch one or two games every night.You would get select NHL games, not the whole slate. View attachment 140048
Have I said anything that refutes that?As a percentage of the population, you are probably correct, however, the ones who cannot receive OTA are also unlikely to have a way to receive wired or wireless broadband. It is satellite or nothing in many of those cases.
Have I said anything that refutes that?
My PERSONAL opinion is those people who can not get OTA via "reasonable means" (ie: putting an external antenna on a pole outside a house is reasonable, expecting someone to put up a 30' tower is not) shouldn't be charged for locals. Of course, then you'd need to define who can pick up OTA and who would have the burden of proof?
Same thing with me and my local Tribune owned CW39. Before when I put my zip code in on the dishpromise.com site I got a message warning about a possible takedown. Now I get "Good news! There are currently no programming disputes for the ZIP code entered."I just checked dishpromise.com and it now says that there are no disputes in my area. Being in Chicago, I previously got the dispute message for WGN channel 9.
