Our government never learns from its mistakes. They approved FM, then after Sarnoff complained, they moved the FM band where it is today, but didn't require manufacturers to make recievers. Look at UHF. After the freeze, stations got placed on UHF, but nobody could recieve it. HDTV will not be any different. I think the majority of TV viewers will be out on the cold when the switch takes place. Thank goodness for DVD players. If the networks had to depend on me for revenue, they would join Enron in bankruptcy court.
I couldn't make out the scanned article at the beginning of this thread, but based on what other posters have said, that reporter is a total dweeb. Our recapped tube sets are not obsolete. They will still work, unlike this cheap foreign slave labor shit that passes as a TV reciever today.
End of rant.
