Get a clue Bob. You should know the answer to your own questions by now.
This is NOT about technology. It IS about MUST CARRY, and protecting
the cash cow that broadcasters now enjoy.
We both know that the broadcasters could get virtually ANYTHING they
want if they went public and used their considerable clout to get the
public to put pressure on Congress. The reason they are not doing
this should be obvious - they do not want to compete. They want to
preserve the power they now enjoy, even if it means wasting some
power on those Trojan Horse DTV transmitters.

P.S. It is worth noting that NOT all broadcasters feel this way, but
those who dare stick their necks out have had them chopped off -
remember what happened to Sinclair?
