In response to my email to the local ABC station, this is what I get.. Welcome ABC to 14 MBPS... now I will never know what Monday Night Football at 19.5 mbps would have looked like.. $@#!@#!!!!
"We have reallocated some bandwidth to accommodate the new ABC news channel.
The allocation is in accordance with "best practices" from ABC and Lucent the supplier of our ATSC encoder. With that said we have around 14.5 mbs reserved for HD and 4 mbs for the SD channel. If we see problems we will make any changes needed. We have always been and will continue to be committed to the HD transition."
