For purposes of the repacking process, the Commission adopted use of new software developed by the Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) (called TVStudy ) and updated input values. OET releases today aversion of the TVStudy software (Version 2.1) intended to facilitate the processing of applications that implement the results of the repacking process.For example, Version 2.1 includes an updated “TV Interference Check” mode to help evaluate interference between TV stations, as will be needed for processing anticipated applications for station modifications following the auction. The updated software also includes new map output types and options, support for additional or updated underlying data sources, and several new analysis modes. While Version 2.1 includes changes necessary to facilitate application processing ,it is consistent with the version of TVStudy being used during the course of the incentive auction . The full list of features and functions added in TVStudy Version 2.1 since the release of TVStudy Version 2.0.2, the prior version of TVStudy ,is included in the attached change log. TVStudy Version 2.1 and the software configuration settings for use in processing post – auction TV applications, which are included in a template XML file (January 2017 TVStudy Template), are both available on the TVStudy website at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/tvstudy
