Speaking of which, when will someone come up with either an ATSC or Clear-QAM interface for televisions?
Since my cable company went 90% digital, I have several cheapie Motorola "Digital Adapters" that only have a single RF NTSC channel 3-4 out. Why can't it have a single Clear-QAM out? Bypass the MPEG-2 decoding altogether, and simply take the digital data from the desired program stream and use it to reconstruct a new bit stream modulated on Channel 3.
And no, I can't just use my television because almost all of the QAM channels are hidden, forcing even expanded basic subscribers with Digital Televisions to use either the Digital Adaptor or a full blown digital cable box.

THis is obvious. Just as obvious as those NTSC modulators made for things like DVD players, to get the audio and video into TVs that had no baseband inputs.
