Reminder: There will be no memo next week, and IF there's a memo the
following week, it will be very late.
- Follow-ups:
- Australian DTT set-top receivers - The latest list has six HD models
out of 37:

- Taiwan DTT - Five broadcasters have begun transmissions before the
official launch date, two offering programming to cars:
<http://www.dtg.org.uk/news/world/-taiwan_jump_gun.htm>
- Sony's 4k digital-cinema projector - This is typical of many stories,
that Sony's work is nice but TI doesn't think it will affect them much:
<http://finance.lycos.com/qc/news/story.aspx?story=41803063>
- MPEG LA's license terms for AVC - The Technical Committee of the World
Broadcasting Unions is not impressed by the $2500 one-time encoder
payment. "Despite this concession, the WBU-TC has unanimously concluded
that the MPEG-4 AVC licensing terms remain extremely onerous for
free-to-air broadcasters. The WBU-TC suggests that free-to-air
broadcasters should be exempted from charges for use of MPEG-4 AVC. In
the absence of such an exemption, the WBU-TC may recommend that the
worlds major broadcasters should not use MPEG-4 AVC":

- The Emmis-led Broadcasters Initiative and USDTV - The former might try
to acquire the latter:

FYI, a correspondent reported seeing the USDTV boxes in a Wal-Mart in
Illinois for under $200.

- Neither the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) nor the National
Association of Broadcasters (NAB) updated their lists this week.
- The Association of Public Television Stations (APTS) has updated its
list to 247 non-commercial U.S. DTT stations, still well below the FCC
figure of 263:
<http://www.apts.org/html/digital/dtv/ptv_digitalstations.htm>
- Doug Lung's RF Report says the FCC CDBS database listed 529 fully
licensed U.S. DTT stations as of June 6:
<http://www.tvtechnology.com/dlrf/one.php?id=466>
- There are no H/DTV items on agenda of June 10 FCC meeting:
<http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-248013A1.pdf>
- The House Telecommunications Subcommittee held a hearing on U.S. DTT
last week. Here are some reports on it:

<http://www.twice.com/article/CA422995?display=Breaking+News>
<http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20040602/pl_nm/congress_digitaltv_dc_2>

<http://www.tvtechnology.com/dlrf/one.php?id=461>
<http://www.twice.com/article/CA422995?display=Breaking+News>
The big news was that Representative Joe Barton, who chairs the parent
House Energy and Commerce Committee, said it was so important to recover
the TV spectrum that Congress should consider buying receivers for those
who can't afford them, thereby keeping the 2006 analog cut-off date.
Only TV Technology reported that by the end of the hearing the only
representative who hadn't left the room was the subcommittee chair Fred
Upton:

- Here's the NAB point of view:
<http://www.nab.org/Newsroom/PressRel/testimonies/FrittsDTV060204.asp>
- Here's that of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association:
<http://www.ncta.com/pdf_files/robert_sachs_testimony_6-02-04.pdf>
- Here's the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). It's interesting in
that CEA is joining NAB in calling for cable and satellite to provide
full carriage of DTT (by January 2009):
<http://www.ce.org/press_room/press_release_detail.asp?id=10470>
- Sinclair Broadcast Group praised Zenith's 5th-generation ATSC receiver
this week, saying that it seems to have solved indoor reception issues:
<http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/06-08-2004/0002189302&EDATE=>
I, too, am very impressed with the receiver, but I'd prefer to see it
tested in my apartment before saying it's solved indoor reception.
- Cox is adding local HD ads to its cable systems in Rhode Island:
<http://www.cedmagazine.com/cedailydirect/2004/0604/cedaily040607.htm#1>
- CBS has long been known for its HDTV; now it wants its affiliates to
do multicasting. The full stories require paid subscriptions, but the
abstracts may be sufficient:
<http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA423590?verticalid=311&industry=Top+of+the+Week&industryid=1024>
<http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/television/brief_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000525264>
It may be worth noting that, depending on how it's done and how many
simultaneous streams are provided, multicasting can preclude HDTV.
- More free digital screenings at the Entertainment Technology Center's
Hollywood Pacific Theater lab: "Shrek 2" on Monday (June 14) and "The
Day After Tomorrow" on June 28. You must register first:
<http://www.etcenter.org/Seminars.asp>
- Those attending the Joint Technical Symposium in Toronto get to go to
a free screening of the restored FILM print of "The Good, the Bad, and
the Ugly," with a discussion of the restoration process, on the 25th:
<http://www.jts2004.org/english/schedule.html>
- DisplaySearch has issued a call for papers for its HDTV Forum 2004, to
be held August 24-26. Abstracts are to be submitted by June 30 to

- David Pogue had a story on Voom in this week's "Circuits" section of
The New York Times. I couldn't help offering the opening paragraph
(which has essentially nothing to do with Voom):
"Let's face it: those $5,000 plasma screens are popular not just because
they're high-definition TV sets but also because they're status symbols.
Look at Gateway's 42-inch $3,000 plasma screen, a runaway hit even
though it can't actually display images in high definition. At this
rate, someone will surely come up with a $200 plasma screen that doesn't
even turn on. It would just hang on the wall and look cool":
<http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/03/technology/circuits/03stat.html>
- Based on figures from CEA, sales of VCRs to U.S. dealers were down
66.4% for the first 20 weeks of 2004 compared to the same period in
2003. Non-H/DTV direct-view TV sets were UP 2.7%. My ten-week running
average for them was up 4.3%.
So-called "Digital Television" sales to U.S. dealers for the 20th week
were 60,443 units. For the first 20 weeks of the year, there were
1,455,019 units. "Digital Televisions" (most of which are HDTV displays
without DTT-reception capability) still accounted for about 14.7% of the
TVs (not counting plasma or direct-view LCD) sold to U.S. dealers so far
this year. It may be worth noting here what that means. Over 85% of the
non-plasma, non-direct-view-LCD TVs sold so far this year were still
plain non-H/DTV direct-view TVs with picture tubes.
To qualify as a "Digital Television," a display need only be capable of
dealing with at least 480p; it need not be capable of either receiving
digital signals or displaying them. Devices actually capable of
receiving DTT signals were still a small fraction of those numbers.
- Ads for set-top DTT receivers: I'm aware of only the LG and Samsung at
J&R.
- The ads - My Los Angeles correspondent was out of town this week.
The DTT-reception premium at Ultimate for the Mitsubishi WS55613 over
the WS55313 was just $270 this week -- and there's a model in between.
Ultimate called an integrated set a monitor, but only at Ultimate did
there seem to be an increase in the number of integrated sets.
