I'm hoping that when the switch over happens, the local stations will be increasing xmit power. One station in our area is advertising this fact. So there may be hope for me yet.
I’m inclined to think you are correct, at least in the case of the sets I have as (relatively speaking) they are all fairly recent models.
Anyone that watches even a minimum amount of TV had to know about this entire thing the ads about it are incessant and at least once per newscast something is discussed about it. Heck, I’ve gotten tired of the ads about it on the radio — and I listen to more radio than I watch TV!
