For what it's worth, LG/Zenith have been demonstrating their
5th-generation receiver for about two years in laboratory and field
conditions. The only thing relatively recent (last year) was the test
in my apartment.

Good question. This is the language in the Balanced Budget Act of 2007:
"at least one television receiver capable of receiving the digital
television service signals of the television stations licensed in such
market"
I believe many lawyers will be able to argue about the meaning of
"capable of receiving."
I sent a letter to 16 members of Congress on this very issue. If anyone
wants a copy, please contact me directly.
TTFN,
Mark
