Kevin, HDTV is not mandated. Digital TV is and it is only over the air. Those who have Direct TV, Dish, or cable will not be affected. The only thing here will be the over the air translators. I guess if I want to continue getting Portland TV, I will have to get a digital tuner. I will, or maybe I will buy an HDTV set by that time. But no, HDTV is not mandated, just going digital is. Are there are digital TV sets out there now that are not HDTV? I have not seen any analog sets with a digital tuner inside. Some HDTV sets even come without the digital tuner. That is not going to do the OTA viewers much good, but again most people are wired for satellite or cable anyway.
