[Kenwood] RE: [Heathkit] OFF TOPIC QUERY

Not so! HD channels are both VHF and UHF (up until last March I worked 
for a Reno TV station and helped but their VHF HD channel on the air). 
And don't hold you breath on the 2009 shutdown date for analog channels. 
I think there will be a real uproar when folks realize that they will be 
forced to acquire new sets on some certain date. Congress will likely 
back off on their ill-conceived mandate on shutdown of the analog 
channels when their constituency gets excited.
