>From a technical standpoint, there's really no argument - the switch *is* necessary. Digital is just that much more efficient.
The much bigger problem is that now the switch has taken so long to implement, the _next_ generation is already upon us, and we're going to be stuck with this mpeg-2 type stuff for the foreseeable future. Unless someone devises a way to add mpeg-4 to ATSC while maintaining compatibility. I agree the coupon program should never have been implemented. Even the poorest of people can't be all _that_ poor if they own a TV. Not like the $50 is going to break them. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
