[opendtv] Re: 2VSB Status? (was Lawmakers Establish 2009 Deadline for Analog TV Phaseout)

Different countries have different TV environments.  Canada's cable 
penetration has always exceeded that in the U.S. 

Most people in the U.S. prefer to get their local news via TV.  TV, 
therefore, is the best way to reach them.  A history of cable and 
satellite problems has left U.S. viewers with residual antenna 
connections -- how many, I can't say, but emergency crank-up radios with 
at least TV sound are doing a brisk business.

TTFN,
Mark
