Give as prizes for people pledging huge amounts. Like, for a $500 pledge, you get this LG 5th gen STB that cost PBS $50, with the PBS logo on it. And PBS is just one example. It seems to me that the NAB could spearhead this sort of program, to create what should be a huge market for the timid OEMs. Cable and DBS companies don't expect STBs for their media to just happen spontaneously, right?
