Cable (and sometimes satellite) uses all of the same spectrum (with no white spaces). Most of the existing home cable plant is horribly leaky, and a lot of the STB and cable-ready television tuners are not properly shielded. As long power levels are low (and no one cheats), everything should fine, but low power means limited range and throughput.</p> It’s not just broadcasters that are concerned about interference.
