Sunsetting ATSC 1.0 signals

Post by km1125 » Thu May 04, 2023 2:15 pm

Wonder how this transition will happen? Will most of the broadcast channels migrate to ATSC3.0 and still leave a couple channels at 1.0 hosting many of the current 1.0 channels while people migrate to new sets? What's your best guess at the timing? 5 years? 10 years?
"Sunsetting the [ATSC] 1.0 signals will be a key area of engagement for the task force," Ripley affirmed. He offered no timetable on when ATSC 1.0 signals would be shut down, but it could be years into the future, as few consumer television sets and aftermarket set-top boxes offer NextGen TV-compatible tuners, which are required to receive the signals.
