Paul - no need to email ACRO for an opinion. ATSC is ATSC no matter how it's "tilted". Don's analysis that this impacts antenna manufacturers more that transmitter companies is correct. I'll keep my eyes on the FCC as each engineering modification to ERP, antenna height, location, etc will have to go through the approval process. Might be a market opportunity here for a company who asserts new antenna technology to deal with DTV. Don is also correct on his analysis of the ACT market while I'd add that any new N-/+1 station would be compelled to buy ACT too. The replacement market has been dead for 2 years - now that the government has made the call things will start rolling. ACT is just ACT - the commodity transmitter is the Au.

FUD is good - Yahoo! to FUD - grab for a person's wallet and something is going to get said. Let's just hope that ACRO can get to meat of this conversion (1-5 years out still) and a high enough share price before someone buys them out. The whole thing goes for under $20Mil now ($10Mil for control) - a bargain (and really highlights the cost of bad PR). We should be in the 6's.
