[HoustonHam] Digital TV ??

[Chris Boone]

The ch info on dtv channels is virtual...it can be anything!!! Alll dtv stations can keep their xx-a designation after the analog goes away. This was done to cause 'less confusion' among the viewing public.
Rrrrriiiiiiigggggghhhhtttt!!!!
Yes tv2 will stay on their uf channel and still call themselves  2!!! Btw 8 KUHF,11 KHOU & 13KTRK are moving back to their original vhf channels...most others will likely stay where they are except dtv5 who is moving to 13s uhf channel once ktrk has returned to 13.

I'm not sure what they are going to do.  Right now they are like 13;
13-1; 13-2.  The question I have is once KTRK makes the full switch
and turns off 13 and is solely on 32 are we still going to call it
channel 13?

KPRC 2 = 35
KHOU 8 = 9
KHOU 11 = 31
KTRK 13 = 32
KRIV 26 = 27
