Mexican Border DTV

[dhett]

The FCC has published Mexico's post-transition DTV allotment plan. For the time being, stations are still on their pre-transition allotments, and some are still analog. Mexico has established an analog shutdown date of December 31, 2015.

If anyone has information about Mexican DTV, I would be interested to see it. My primary interest is in the border region with the US, especially from Ciudad Juárez westward, but information on stations throughout Mexico are also welcome.
