Hello,

I'm not sure that you haven't already heard this:

Not exactly surprising for Microsoft to take this position. Not any more surprising than the NAB to take the opposite position.
I think that if these devices have tuners capable of -114 dBm sensitivity, perhaps TV tuners should adopt the same front ends.
Furthermore, church mikes are unlikely to operate within a couple of feet of someone's TV. In most churches.
Also, the article doesn't address the problem of interference with cable reception (although I think in principle that should be easier to fix than OTA reception).
