This article again confuses sets considered by the CEA to be
"digital" with receivers capable of decoding the ATSC streams.
Also, it describes how consumer groups have recently come to
demand a "pay back" from broadcasters. Presumably, the pay
back is for the privilege of being forced to spend millions of
dollars in a digital conversion they didn't ask for, and to
have and to continue paying much higher power bills for the
combined analog and digital transmission facililties. Perhaps
predictably, this pay back is to be in the form of programming
for the multicast channels that historically has been shown to
have next to zero viewership.
