De facto, with analog cutoff dates of 2010 to 2012 in western Europe and
Australia, DTT reception will be mandatory for any OTA user. Regardless
of "tuner mandate."
So only cable or DBS subscribers would benefit from cheaper analog-only
sets, and in many countries, these make up a small minority.
I expect integrated sets, perhaps DVB-T, DVB-S, and DVB-C, to become
commonplace there too.
