Sandy is correct there is not a HD TV mandate just digital a station can transmit SD or HD it's up to them. In some places there is high cable/dish usage but I don't think the count is correct in major markets like LA. If I was a station owner I would not rip out my analog transmiter right after the turn off date. Unless something big happens I bet a few weeks later the FCC will let stations turn it back on if they want. Like Sandi said this will happen after the phones start ringing in Washingston and it will be a whole new ballgame. I have a different angle to add, I bet there will be some race/poor angle that comes into play just a thought. In the LA Market there are several UHF spanish stations and I bet there are a lot of viewers using rabbit ears to pick em up on a set that has no idea what digital is.
