They're also going to increase the signal strength of the channels --
since there are going to be fewer channels than the old digital
service, they can be spaced sufficiently far apart to allow higher
power transmission without cross-channel interference.

Will the shift to QAM-16 require changes to the dvbstream settings, or
is that stuff autodetected?
