[QUOTE=&quot;Piggie, post: 18001, member: 2941&quot;]Channel 11 was on an out of core UHF that is not longer a TV channel so they had to stop transmitting on UHF. They moved back to their 11 RF frequency but are only running 5KW with no applications to run more power. They might not be able to run more being the NE is crowded now there are not longer channels 2-6 (there but not usable) and 52-69 gone forever. It depends on how close you live to the tower, type of antenna and luck at that low of a power level. It maybe has a 40 mile range to a very good outdoor antenna. The TV community got out lobbied by the public service radio companies and the wireless ISPs.&nbsp;&nbsp; We lost.From another post:Remember me talking about the &quot;Hidden Transition&quot; that was coming? This is it. Falcon_77 at AVS named it. It's called hidden because the FCC didn't require stations moving from UHF to VHF digital to inform their viewers. Many that thought they were totally digitally ready, had a rude surprise when their antenna system geared to UHF suddenly had one or more VHF channels to deal with post transition.This is the part if you feel like you have bees in your head, you are not alone.[/QUOTE]
