[SBE] PSIP Question & Virtual Channel Assignment

[Bill Whitt]

I would have to agree with this rant for sure. I've changed channels 2 times
now and I hear rumor of channel compression - where it is defined to me as
putting everyone 2 or 3 (I cant remember) channels apart. So in theory on
the mountain where my full power is - there will be 19, 21, 23, and a 25 UHF
channel broadcast for virtual channels 50, 12, 30 , and 47. 

 

God I hope this is just a rumor.

Because of the whining by station that ID as Channel X and didn't want to
confuse viewers by having to change their logo/ID/envelopes to say Channel
Y, we are all stuck with the idiotic system of most of us not being on our
actual channel, a confusion to consumers buying a channel, 2, 5, 7, etc
antenna for stations that are really on 17, 19, 22, 25 etc.
