"NTIA to Review Microtune DTV-Converter-Box Test Results"

[ ... ]

"The converter boxes are under fire on another front, as well. The
Community Broadcasters Association went to court to block distribution
of boxes that do not pass through analog signals, although it targeted
the Federal Communications Commission rather than the NTIA."

Lost in this thread is the fact that Microtune had not a single word to
say about any "dueling statutes," or anything about NTSC bypass at all.
Microtune was complaining about the fact that some of these coupon boxes
do not pass the NTIA performance requirements over the entire TV band.

The paragraph I quoted above is where the article jumps the tracks and
goes off on another tangent.

Here is the Microtune letter to the NTIA:
