Channel 11 is digital in my area (Central Florida). I have no trouble
picking it up with a Silver Sensor- in fact it's probably the strongest
signal and the least directional.

My interpretation is...

VHF Channels 2-13 can/will disappear after 2006 for New US
communication uses.


No way this will happen as much as I'd like to see 2-6 disappear entirely
due to impulse noise problems. After the demise of analog, stations will
have the option of doing digital on their old analog channel. Those with VHF
assignments will likely keep them as there is a prestige factor in a low
number and, more importantly, lower channels require less power for the same
broadcast radius. The electricity bill for VHF transmitters is significantly
lower.

I know for a fact that KGO-TV CH7 in San Francisco will be giving back it's UHF
channel and keeping it's VHF channel 7 when the switch happens. When this will
happen is still much speculation and debate.
