As I quoted a pundit earlier, she didn't think there would be a public announcement of the assignments -- only the auction results.
As I quoted a pundit earlier, she didn't think there would be a public announcement of the assignments -- only the auction results.I am not trip so perhaps I should keep my mouth shut but all I have ever read is mid April. Not sure if that means as close as possible to the 15th or perhaps anytime from the 10th to the 20th.
That's what they said in January. April is a whole new quarter with a decidedly different commission. The latest public notice (March 30) is perhaps less comprehensive:The results of the repacking process will be announced by public notice and will include any new channel assignments for television stations.
The FCC will release the Incentive Auction Closing and Channel Reassignment Public Notice in a few weeks. This public notice will announce the results of the reverse and forward auctions and will provide important information, reminders, and details regarding post-auction procedures and the obligations of successful bidders in the reverse and forward auctions.
Reassigned stations will have three months to file construction permit applications for any minor changes to their facilities necessary to operate on their new channels. After all stations have filed their initial applications, stations will be permitted to request alternate channels or expanded facilities on their new channels.
Contest and no rules and my entries !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So that nobody is confused or taken by surprised, I've closed all Incentive Auction threads aside from this one this morning, and will close this one to replace with a new sticky one when the FCC releases the new channel assignments.

Well, with everything beyond RF36 being cut for tv stations, IF you aren't going to have any channels higher than RF35 in your area, we can use these for LTE filters on our tv antenna systems. They don't pass anything above 600mHz:
Amazon product ASIN B00006JPE6I am glad you brought it into the picture,and!!!! they work quite well !!!!!
Though depending on your market and/or what channels are important to you. You may have wait for up to three years before you can install this, since that is the post-auction time allotted for the clearance of all TV stations off the 600 MHz band to be completed.Well, with everything beyond RF36 being cut for tv stations, IF you aren't going to have any channels higher than RF35 in your area, we can use these for LTE filters on our tv antenna systems.

If you read carefully, I think you'll find that the deadline is 39 months from the forthcoming announcement of the auctions results. Phase 1 stations are expected to have completed their transition before August of 2018. Suggesting that the end of the process is the likely interval isn't logical. The chart shows the deadline to be 35 months after the public announcement with some extra weeks for hardship transitions.Though depending on your market and/or what channels are important to you.

I was in Lowe's the other day and saw a primarily UHF RCA antenna advertising 4K capability on its packaging. Trying to receive VHF low on a Yagi-Uda that features a reflector of less than three feet in length isn't going to be pretty.A consumer yagi should be broadband in able to receive the full range of channels.
I'll give you that one. I was considering a full range antenna. Unfortunately, most of the antenna listings just show the useless 4k or 1080i verbiage and not the intended channels. Most of these flat antennas are going to be absolutely useless on VHF (channels 2-13). Oh, and when you are looking at channels, you need to look at the real channel and not the virtual channel mapping. You can find that on a site like tvfool.I was in Lowe's the other day and saw a primarily UHF RCA antenna advertising 4K capability on its packaging.

The marketroids seem to be increasingly emboldened to add more and grosser misrepresentations of what their products will do. Oh, but we said "up to" and that makes everything all right.

It isn't reasonable to assume that the future reception solution is necessarily incompatible with the current channels unless you require an array of precisely tuned antennas.
Of course the NAB and other broadcasters have been applying a full-court press of late trying to convince everyone that the deadline must logically be unrealistic. The only thing that seems unrealistic to me is that they're going to be able to squeeze in ATSC 3.0 but that's entirely the broadcaster's problem.
