May exist. Hasn't till now IMO. At least for our business model. We
don't want truck rolls for every customer. I don't want to be kicked out
of a retail store that is trying to sell our service and kicks us out
because of the headaches. WalMart may be having such headaches right now
with USDTV.
The idea of using 8-VSB is only a year old for us and only continues as
long as there is a possibility of a decent receiver. LG could have
offered that last summer. Instead they chose to stop making receivers. I
don't understand.
Maybe they are focusing on the Chinese market. That would make sense.
