Will 600MHz affect the future of 4K over-the-air broadcast?

DC's music radio stations are really awful.  But I can receive WIYY from Baltimore in most places I go frequently, and that's where my FM radio stays pretty much the entire time I'm in the car, if I want music.  Otherwise, WTOP.

Some of the shows on MTV, FX, USA or The CW are only viewable in a timely fashion if you have a current cable subscription. 

The CW? Are you into Vampire Diaries or maybe catching up on missed episodes of One Tree Hill or Dawson's Creek?

 

I kid, my wife has made me watch many of those shows. I usually get out of it by asking a ton of questions and she makes me leave. Lol

I rarely connect the bluetooth in my car. Leaving it on on my phone all day kills the battery, and I just don't feel like switching it on and off every time I get in the car. Inevitably I'll forget to turn it off and have a dead battery when I really need it. So, it's FM radio for me unless I'm on a longer trip. I watch a lot of TV shows, not just on my station. Mostly via DVR since I work in the evenings. I suppose I could see many of them on Hulu or other sources, but again, it's not worth the hassle for me. Some of the shows on MTV, FX, USA or The CW are only viewable in a timely fashion if you have a current cable subscription.

You'd be surprised at how efficient Bluetooth has become. It's not as big of a battery drain as leaving your WiFi on. It's become quite efficient, especially after 4.0

This is not an issue of the past, this is current with my G4. On any given day with normal usage, I get 24-36 hours on a charge. If I leave Bluetooth on, I get maybe... 15? It makes a huge difference, and Bluetooth has been the only differentiating factor.

    • Was it like only 1.2MB?  I had a tiny one last night but no date change as I was already on November here.
    • A new apartment building in my neighborhood is getting a 4G/5G DAS installed. No idea if it's going to be carrier agnostic or if it's going to be just for one carrier. The antennas they are using cover the full range of spectrum from 600MHz-4.9GHz so no telling by equipment alone. I noticed a ton of Cat6E ethernet being run in the garage a couple of days back and then I saw a guy running the ethernet through the ceiling yesterday and didn't think to ask what for until I noticed this antenna this morning mounted on a wall outside near the ramp but with nothing connected to it at the moment.     The garage attendant told me that the phones that are provided to them by the parking management company are on Verizon and they're the only carrier without coverage down there so the building management told them that they're "installing something to fix it". So as far as I know, this will work on Verizon but I'm curious to see who else will get a boost too. — — — — — Without exaggerating, I have mapped a new at least one new small cell on my way to work every day this week. I don't know who the regional network managers for NYC and Boston are, but other cities need to take a page from their book about small cell buildouts. And it's not just upgrades of existing small cells, it's new ones too. Not to mention pings near 10ms on all of them.
    • Yep, 562.51MB December 1 sec patch just found here tonight as well.
