Does anyone have any predictions as to whether there will ever be DT repeaters like the existing analog ones for UHF we have all over our state?

Depends on the cost/benefit ratio to the broadcaster. I'd say not for a while if at all due to high costs.

Concerning DTV translators........

The Utah experiments have gone well. The FCC just released the new rules for LPTV and translator digital TV. Stations can now start building them.


Kent Parsons and his guys have shown that DTV translators work well, and can be operated on channels adjacent to the analog transmitters. They can even use the same amplifiers. And, many analog translators can easily be switched over to DTV.
