Oh it's being mentioned! AvsForum is awash with complaints. Our
local station was surprised by the number of complaints, which
of course indicates that people are actually watching their DTV
channel (which is low power and became HD only at the instant
the Olympic coverage started.)
A few of my colleagues have mentioned HDTV and one
pair installed it specially for the Olympics (she's Greek),
by borrowing my spare STB.
