So here's what might happen to the old tv frequencies after all tv goes digital.

Except for Microsoft being in the mix....if they get input into this like they did for DTV we can expect a system below its potential. IF it wasn't for MS our HDTV would have been a much sharper 2250Lines instead of 1080 that we ended up with after MS lobbying.

Now Rick!!!!:sqeek:

I will say this much for Gates, if not for him we probably wouldn't be as far along with computers as we are. However, if not for Gates, we COULD BE farther along with other things computer related.

Thinking about buying a wireless mic? They use TV channel frequenices. ;) Better talk to us before you do. American Audio, Gemini, etc... all admit that their mics will most likely NOT work next year. Most of the big boys (EV, Shure, Sennheiser, etc) have mixed answers, but they also have plans in place to protect your investment.
