FCC Continues Working On DTV-Related Reception Issues
August 18, 2009
The Federal Communications Commission continues to work through what it characterizes as a "limited number" of digital television-related reception issues. Solutions include moving stations from VHF to UHF channel positions, boosting power, and in at least one case moving from one VHF channel position to another to gain viewers in mostly rural areas. The FCC's willingness to boost power and move stations suggest to some tacit acknowledgement that the FCC lowballed the DTV power limits and is having to play catch-up.
