analog shutdown maybe delayed

[Dan.Strassberg]

Won't VPT use its OTA DTV subchannels to simulcast the channels that 
have been available only via Dish? Here in Boston, WGBX ("44") 
simulcasts four channels, three of which have never been available on 
analog OTA or, AFAIK, on the local cable systems. I don't know whether 
Dish carries any of those subchannels.

ION ("68") also carries four channels, only one of which has been 
avalable on analog OTA. I have no idea about the availability of the 
ION subchannels on local cable or Dish.
