Some multipath reception is momentary due to road vehicles or aircraft passing; other multipath problems may persist due to reflection off tall buildings or other landscape features. Strong multipath can cause the analog picture to "tear" or momentarily lose synchronization, causing it to roll or flip.
An estimated 1.8 million people were expected to lose the ability to access over-the-air TV entirely as a result of the digital transition. [citation needed] Viewers in rural and mountainous regions were particularly prone to lose all reception after digital transition. [37]
Thus, the frequency band dedicated to TV became between 470 MHz and 700 MHz (channels 14-52), whilst 4G LTE uses the frequency bands between 700 and 900 MHz (former TV channels 52 to 83), resulting in an interval separating the two bands (DTT and 4G) of about 1 MHz, so that there is a risk of interference [1] in the areas close to the 4G-LTE ...
The standard today is 75 ohm coaxial cable, which is less susceptible to interference which plugs into an F connector or Belling-Lee connector (depending on region) on the back of the TV. [6] To convert the signal from antennas that use a twin-lead line to the modern coaxial cable input, a small transformer called a balun is used in the line.
It has around 48 owned-and-operated and 23 affiliated stations, the majority of which were owned by former parent Ion Media; Ion is available in markets without an over-the-air (OTA) affiliate via a national feed that is distributed to pay-television providers and AVOD streaming services, along with a group of stations spun out to a separately ...
[5] [failed verification] As of the analog shut-off date of June 12, 2009, all full power OTA stations in the U.S. by law either transmitted their broadcasts digitally, or shut down. Many stations used the switch to digital transmission as an opportunity to transition from 480i broadcasts to digital HD OTA broadcasts (either in 720p or 1080i ...

These issues are greatly reduced with digital television, and today most over-the-air broadcasts take place on UHF, while VHF channels are being retired. To avoid giving the impression that channels were disappearing, digital broadcast systems have a virtual channel concept, allowing stations to display their original VHF channel number while ...
