There would be some readjustment of the frequency plan, but it sounds to me like broadcasters such as yourself should get this through to the NAB, John. The CEA should not care either way. In fact, they came out strongly against the tuner mandate. The ATSC does not have a huge constituency in Congress that I'm aware of. So explain to me why this hasn't happened. It's as mysterious as the special ingredient that makes the LG hot sauce such a winner. Inquiring minds would love to know.
