If we had OTA viewership here, we too would have had 80 brands of STB.
Instead, we have a population that forgot about OTA TV more than two
decades ago. Only satisfied with 150 TV channels.

Americans are only now rediscovering OTA TV. According to the sales guy
at Best Buy, because the HD quality is better than that of DBS or cable.
Do you think this is going to increase the number of homes that take advantage of DTV broadcasts?
I can see some synergy with DBS, as using an ATSC tuner will eliminate the need to pay $5-6 per month for local stations. There is no such synergy with cable, as the local channels are required, and now we are paying for them too.
