I guess that is what people with cable will do but what about the people with satellite and off the air that may not have the opportunity to rent boxes, also there are always those that are looking for something that they can own instead of renting. Is there an opportunity here that is being overlooked?

Just like many people do right now with the digital cable boxes so they can get the extra digital channels. There are also off air HDTV tuners only that should be able to output NTSC as well as the HDTV signal.

As long as we are on this subject already. For those that keep up on the latest information on the change over from NTSC to HDTV, what is available now or what is under development, in equipment that can be purchased to allow HD signals to be received and processed in TV's that are NTSC only. From an "entrepreneurial" (trying to make a living), point of view, is there something that may be in demand that we can make a buck or two on? I envision mass panic and pandemonium if this occurs in Dec. 2006 as was posted a week or so ago. People are going to be flooding the big box stores and the supply will not be adequate for the demand. I am sure others see this differently. Am interested in comments.
