I'm new to this discussion, but why do we even need digital broadcasts? What's wrong with requiring people who want HD to get cable? Most of them will have it, anyway. I can't see spending the kind of money needed for an HD TV without investing in at least a basic cable hookup. From what I've heard, HD broadcasts are nothing to brag about.

We really don't need that.- Tom
