Ok, I know this is not a Satellite question. But I'll bet most of you have antennas to pick up UHF/VHF HDTV. So this seemed like a good place to ask the question.
Does anyone know with resonable accuracy what is the future of both UHF and VHF transmissions? I'm not talking about OTA as a whole, but specifically VHF vs UHF. I have read that after 2006 UHF will pretty much cease to exist, but what I am seeing by looking at the FCCs license database is that there are more UHF stations with new construction permits than VHF stations, which seems not to support this statement.
The main reason I'm asking is because I am planning on putting up an antenna to supplement my satellite HD content and the answer will determine if I go local UHF or long distant VHF.
But I don't want this to be a discussion of which antenna I should use, just if there is any intellegent information about OTAs future in UHF vs VHF and HD content.
