Nice article DiViT. Don't forget that the FCC considers the current HDTV "standard" as "subject to revision." But skeptics point out that public tests of HDTV gear have been very rare. James Burger is an attorney with many clients in the electronics, cable, and computing industries who has been following the development of digital TV for more than ten years; he claims that today's HDTV gear may not even be able to receive digital broadcasts. According to some early tests, consumers would need to point a 30-foot antenna directly toward the nearest digital transmitter just to get the signals! (Editor's note: CNET has not yet been able to test any DTV equipment in order to confirm this.)
