ATSC video in 1GHz+

I was going through the spectrum last night, and noticed something odd. In 1GHz+, I'm finding ATSC video signals. I can identify them easily by the ATSC pilot tone. But here's the thing, here in America, ATSC is assigned to regular TV frequencies, mostly UHF. UHF ends at around 700MHz now (channel 51). Even then, UHF channel 83 would have been ending at around 890MHz. Not to mention, it's not using 6MHz bandwidth, it's using 12MHz.

So what ATSC signal is this? None of my TV's or converter boxes can tune up to this frequency to receive it, even though it's a nice and strong signal too.

Here's a picture of the beginning of the signal, showing the pilot tone visible.
