[ICOM] re:tv on 7000

[gfiber at comcast.net]

I am sure that Icom switches to entirely a different front end and likely IF due to the 6 MHz bandwidth required for VHF TV. Icom does this often for things like air band reception and broadcast FM.

I doubt there would be any sacrafice with the amateur radio receiver parts of the IC-7000.
