There is plenty of OTA channel space left, even after the channels where trimmed down as much as they are currently. The bandwidth was auctioned off, and I don't know whether the winners of the auction, ever used the bandwidth either. Before the DTV transition, one broadcaster was available practically everywhere in the country. Like running water, it was one of the few things you could count on. It would be one way to get an emergency alert to all citizens. The Transition from NTSC to ATSC 8VSB, saw one major transmitter (250kW) shut down, bringing darkness and despair to the rural people in that area. They then had zero channels of OTA reception on offer. Not even the nightly news. To get TV service, they would need cable or telecom triple-play to get TV, which is not always an option for extreme rural (in the woods) people. If all you can get is ADSL at 3Mbit/sec, that's not going to be good for TV carriage particularly. No money was provided by the government, to construct new DTV transmitters. A couple of the transmitters, somehow used the analog transmitter (even on the same analog channel on VHF) and fitted a new front end on it (at their own expense). Other providers just shut down, if it meant spending money on the service. What you get on cable, is more highly multiplexed. and is going to be somewhat different, quality wise, than the few OTA channels we've got. If you're in Toronto, you could see fifty channel codes on your device, while sitting in your apartment on the 20th floor. Whereas elsewhere in the country, put up an antenna, and receive zero channels DTV. Then you go for satellite (a relative uses that option). But while cable is available to a lot of citizens, we couldn't get that at the cottage. And you would need a 150 mile Yagi, to pick up the transmitter in the city (after two bounces off the ocean). These are the perils of living in a large country. Paul
