Real people don't have enough info to be customers. They are selling to the government mandate and expect the customer will buy integrated sets where all the profit is by default. The digital transition is not their responsibility. They seem pretty happy with the uptick in integrated set sales. Are there any? ATI seems to think they have a receiver that has cornered the market and are totally dismissive of LG. I would just like to test one ASAP.
