Perhaps the almost total absence of consumer demand for high-quality ATSC STBs? I'm not being facetious. Apart from a few thousand early-adopting OTA HDTV enthusiasts, U.S consumers will be either: a) getting their TV from MVPDs; b) buying a new DTV with an integrated tuner; or, c) waiting until Congress get done dithering over analog shutdown. I like a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but maybe it's just a supply-and-demand thing.
