A. The FCC has developed a plan where each existing analog TV station is assigned a vacant TV channel to use for digital television service. In some areas of the country, this new DTV assignment may be on a formerly vacant channel that a telemetry device user had chosen for its operations. If the medical telemetry device user continues to operate on this channel, it can receive interference from new DTV transmissions on the same channel.
