What 4DTV market? Optimistically, there are a few hundred thousand as opposed to millions.....Probably 100K is about right. But 100K x $200 annually is still in the millions of dollars so I still feel if they have the signal availble they will sell it. On the other hand, I would only consider a quarterly sub in case it goes away. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Timothy W.
