[opendtv] Re: 5th generation Test

I don't understand why the broadcasters do not now use this as a 
bargaining chip in front of Congress to delay the turn off or maybe even 
bargain for multiple must-carry.  It would seem that they could all 
collectively say they did not believe the technology was good enough yet 
and that they needed functional STB's to make the transition.  And that 
would obviously take more time.

Maybe they are keeping this as an ace in the hole for some reason.
