There are not very many DTV broadcasts out there....................

DTV News:

- The November 23 issue of Warren Publishing's Television & Cable
Action Update lists only nine fully-licensed DTV stations on the air
(up from a long-time three), but 91 stations are said to have
construction permits and another 73 have submitted applications. Nine
is obviously lower than the forty or so said to have carried HDTV
programming at the end of October and in early November, but many of
those were not yet fully licensed.
How many of those 40 or so have remained on the air with HDTV is a
matter of some interest. Robin Wilson of DiviCom, on the OpenDTV Forum
last week, opined "a guess that, since the number of stations
broadcasting HD today is less than on November 1 and continuing to
fall, maybe I can afford to wait a few more years [to get an HDTV
receiver]."
It appears to be the case that, even though the FCC requires DTV
stations to be on the air whenever their associated NTSC stations are,
that doesn't seem to be happening yet. Maybe that's a difference
between the fully licensed stations and those just experimenting.
