It is my understanding the the VLF band will be gone and all digital TV transmissions will be in VHF? and higher frequency bands. Since digital reception is usually a go or no-go situation, what happens in those areas of the country (like a hilly area) where the OTA TV reception at the higher frequencies is marginal or doesn't exist? Is the government going to build additional antenna towers so that the same tv coverage of the Country exists? Having a digital converter box won't help if there is no signal.
