[opendtv] Re: Incentives for buying integrated DTVs

The US is doing it with $40 STB coupons, presumably from 'money' received selling off the spectrum.
Pity that the US is so narrow minded that they only allow the subsidy to be used for a government approved STB, not to offset the added cost of an ATSC tuner in an integrated set.

All we need to do is tax free tv. Wow! Another great way for the government 
to get more money to waste, and we can credit the ransom-paying Italians!
But, can't we get more than 20% off just by going to a discount store, with 
no upside limit?  And, doesn't this gear cost a bit more than 200 euros?

Anything that limits the ability of the Italians to reward kidnappers is a
good idea.
