[SBE] Ready to turn analog back on?

[George Gonos, Leader]

I saw an article in TV Technology about a month ago and the LPTV guys are up
in arms.  There is a petition out there proposing to modify the design of
the government sponsored set-top box to allow for "analog TV" RF inputs in
order to service the LPTV application.

Given the first version of the box is already out (and they are still
talking about modifications?!?) I am sure they will eventually figure it out
but it may be long after they put most small broadcasters out of business.

Well it is for digital TV, not the continuation of analog since analog TV 
sets can still work for LPTV etc. If the converter box puts out baseband,
then 
use the line in on most TV sets, and if RF, add a simple splitter/combiner
to 
get the OTA antenna and the box output to the one spigot on the TV marked
ANT. 
If your DTV is still low power, who's responsibility is that?
