Isn't that only analog over-the-air broadcasting? ;)  Notice how all
the commercials about it very specifically mention air signals, and
how the change won't effect satellite and cable systems.  The whole
change is only to free up the big ol' chunk of radio spectrum
currently being eaten up by a few TV staitons in a given market, so
the govt can auction it off and reap in more money for license fees.
