digital television service, including
propagation characteristics that allow
undesired signals and noise to be
receivable at relatively far distances and
nearby electrical devices to cause
interference. According to the
Petitioner, it has received numerous
complaints of poor or no reception from
viewers, and explains the importance of
a strong over-the-air signal in the
Portland area during emergencies,
when, it states, cable and satellite
service may go out of operation. Finally,
the Petitioner demonstrated that the
channel 21 noise limited contour would
fully encompass the existing channel 12
contour, and an analysis using the
Commission’s TVStudy software
indicates that Petitioner’s proposal
would result in an increase in
population served.
This is a synopsis of the
Commission’s Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 21–130;
