I've found OTA SD quality is better than LI L highly compressed by the sat companies. I figure HD LIL will have similar artifacts. However, MPEG4 might make a significant difference. OTOH, I can receive DT-OTA during storm conditions when the sat signal "fades away".

But this is not the whole picture. Only 44% of the homes that have an HD capable display are watching HD content. This would lead one to assume that the other 56% either do not have an ATSC tuner or are not using it. Thus the actual number of -Off-air users is probably closer to 3.5%.
I wonder, is anyone is taking into account those of us watching ATSC using a DVR satellite receiver with an in-board OTA tuner?
I think that this would be covered under the DBS category in the CEA release, but there could be a significant percentage of these homes that also use the off-air DTV tuner in their STBs. The more important question here is how may will bother after local-into- local HD signals become available in their market?
