Digital TC Switch- the defense connection: http://doomsdaylabs.com/2009... "...I learned in my career as a radarman in the U.S. Navy, if you don’t shut down certain bands of the defense radar when you get too close to land, you can knock out a whole island’s ability to receive the World Cup Soccer game, and they can get mighty pissed. So by getting rid of these analog TV signals, which take up a large amount of the frequency ‘real estate’, we’re ‘clearing the land’ for new signals..."

New Satellite Policy will improve [EADS and] Digital TV in the UK http://www.intellectuk.org/compone...
