And teh number of households actually watching digital OTA is still very
small...no matter what the broadcast capabilities are currently. Which is
the whole point of the inevitable slide in the timeframe. The installed
based of analog sets/households with no current equipment capability to even
receive these digital OTA's is huge, and that is what will need to be
overcome b4 the transition away form analog can take place...
