CAN'T WE LEAVE THE VHF BAND ANALOG, AND THE UHF BAND DIGITAL?
VHF channels 2-13 CAN REMAIN ANALOG, while channels 14 and beyond can BECOME DIGITAL
same with "digital radio", instead of cucking the 87.5 Mhz to 108.0 Mhz band, can't we just use the frequencys of UHF TV channels 79-83 (860 Mhz to 890 Mhz)
They do this because Earth is getting ready for contact. Radio waves pollute.

they're called podcasts and streaming apps grandpa

Short answer? The military wants the entire spectrum
Michael Hill
It's because you can pack more information into less airwaves with digital
Analog requires a ton of airapace to transmit anything

>UHF TV channel bands goes from channel 14 (470 Mhz) to channel 83 (890 Mhz) that's 69 ANALOG tv channels. You can multiply that for 6 in the case of digital, that's 414 digital channels
do you seriously think that we need more than 69 analog broadcast tv channels? let alone, 414 digital ones?
You could easily remove 4 UHF TV channels from there, and still have 65 analog UHF channels - 390 digital UHF channels, and have a 30 Mhz bandgap for digital radio.
thats 9.5 Mhz more bandgap for digital radio, than the current one there is on FM radio
>what if we run out of TV channels to broadcasts? hasn't been the case since the invention of the analog television, let alone, FM radio
why are we going to cuck the VHF band, just because we "MIGHT" saturated the available UHF channels? WE WON'T!

agree, but there is no need to KEK everything to digital.
We can use UHF for digital, VHF for analog
Jack Reed
I'm not even worried
With a little knowledge of circuit theory and a few electronic components I can make a radio transmitter

Unless you want to free up the airspace for other things

Is that how 3D animation looks now? Are (((they))) programming young kids to like inbred faces?

Bandwidth.
There is only so much bandwidth.
Oliver Young
Holy shit, an actual Mexican intellectual!
Levi King
>UHF full spectrum is not enough >we need to cuck the VHF spectrum as well
how many broadcasts channels are in use these days?
414 digital tv channels aren't enough for you?
why do we need to cuck the other 2-13 analog VHF tv channels?
Ethan Anderson
kek, i have to admit i've never made one. I just posted it from google images
but anyway im capable of doing it. Im a STEM master race
Nathan Perez
>Im a good goy :')
Noah Wilson
There was Sup Forums (((theory))) on why they need the analog spectrum, but I can't remember it, anyone?
Caleb Mitchell
So I don't have to hear the radio signals in my fillings anymore.
James Young
This is what an ANALOG TV channels looks like on bad reception
Sebastian Bennett
this is what a DIGITAL tv channel looks like with noise
Don't get me wrong, DIGITAL is great, it needs less power, and can bring a sharper image, high resolution and uses less bandwidth
But there is no need to go full digital, analog still has its uses, specially on emergency broadcasts, where information can save lives!
Brandon Cook
I have over 40 tv stations over the air thanks to digital. A shitload of providers popped up to provide digital channels and I have free old scifi and comedy shows without paying $50 to a subscription company.
Bentley Watson
good, on UHF there are 414 digital TV channels available
