Near the end of the show there was some confusion raised about the analog cutoff. You can see a listing of what your market is going to look like post-cutoff at AntennaWeb.org by filling in your postal code and submitting the form.
In my market most channel numbers stay the same as seen on an ATSC tuner today. The channel id’s for analog and digital stations mostly coincide here in Minneapolis (ex. sd 5 = hd 5.1, sd 11 = hd 11.1). An analog converter box is just a current ATSC tuner that down-converts the signal to 480i and sends it out via composite video or coax on analog channel 3.
I understand that, but one of my channels is moving from UHF to VHF and my UHF only antenna pointed at the tower is going to be useless and I don't know what day it'll happen. I guess I could assume they'll wait to the last day.
