In NJ we have a Jesuscaster on channel 29, with about 10 SDTV subchannels...

In our area, WTOK has 3 total channels: ABC, FOX, and CW. There are 3 PBS channels from WMAW. There are no subchannels on the WMDN (CBS) or WGBC (NBC). There is one analog channel 47 that broadcast Christian programming. I don't know the call letters or where the transmitter is located. I have not found a digital channel for them. Maybe they are a low power station that will remain analog, will go digital later on, or stop broadcasting when the anaolg cutoff date arrives.

Thumbs up

Picked up 2 Magnavox boxes last week and they perform great. I live just S.E. of Muskegon Mi. and I was really surprised to see the CBS affiliate HD signal. Their analog is on 3, with all the noise you'd expect from a lowband channel 50 or more miles away(north of Kalamazoo). Their HD is on 2 with 6.8kw and I thought I would not see it but there it was, hovering around 50 on the signal meter and a perfect picture. They have the CW on a subchannel. I have a big V/U antenna with a pole mounted amp about 35 feet up and the NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, local god squad and even a god squad out of Kalamazoo are all there. When the weather warms up I'll get a couple branches out of the way so I can do some rotating and see what else shows up.

Just finished with the set up on the Zenith from CCity , pleased with the performance so far . 13 channels in my market , did have to set each channels aspect ratios for best picture . Using a simple set of Rabbit ears .
Wmart was $10.00 cheaper with the Magnavox ......

Are we going to have to claim the rebate on our TAXES next year ????

Was this needed for better TV or to sell band width to cell phones ?

Technically it is a "taking" since our Analog TV's are loosing value / functionality.

If they didn't have the rebate program, it is strongly debatable that each individual affected could sue for damages under constitutional grounds.

By having the program, then it's your fault for not taking advantage....

And it's NOT income, it is compensation for a loss. Thus no taxes...

Did you see how MUCH money they made auctioning off the rights to use those frequency bands??? A BUNDLE...
