The Allen array is claimed to have the ability to detect the equivalent of
our analogue TV carriers from local stars. (I suspect this is with
a long observation time.)
The analogue TV transmitters will 'soon' be replaced by digital. The chance
of ET having an analogue TV-transmitter is aproximatly zero.
Nobody assumes ET will have analog TV. TV carriers are cited as an
example of a strong narrow signal. That is all.
On the other hand, I don't think the ATA will have that sensitivity.
