The info about about the 10x increase in signal overloading some amplifiers raises a slight concern. More power means more heat, which potentially means fire-risk, esp to TV amplifiers stuck out of the way in attics and possibly covered with flammable junk. I've no idea how the 10x signal strength increase actually translates to change in power-consumption by amplifiers - conceivably power-consumption might go DOWN, since the signal needs amplifying less. But the talk of overload does raise the question. Can anyone reassure (or alarm) me?

Briantist: Thanks - good to know there should be no problem over excessive electrical power/heat post switch-over, and also about the other info on that page.
