True.  In fact, it's lower, because the plug-&-play agreement requires DTT 
reception.

BUT

There are no mandatory dates associated with the plug-&-play agreement.  By 
March 1 of next year, the tuner mandate requires 100% of all tuner-equipped TVs 
25-inch and up built or imported into the U.S. to have DTT reception circuitry. 
 That includes the under-$100 25-inch TVs I find advertised periodically.

TTFN,
Mark
