Gee, I bought a "digital" television set, oddly enough from Target, just 
last week.  A 15" LCD for the bedroom.  Funny, but this "digital" set has RF 
(With NTSC-only tuner), composite video, s-video, and analog component video 
inputs, with the component input capable of 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i (480p 
native) but it doesn't have a single digital input or output, nor can it 
receive or decode digital OTA television or digital cable.  Still counts as 
a digital set, though, to the CEA.

I do believe you're right on the mark, Bert.
