Wonder  how the the HDTV people did it then........






HDTV  has a government mandate for analog sign off.   If you  are in the TV 
receiver business you will build sets....and none of us can deny  that prices 
have dropped significently.
 
Also  when it comes shut down times,   Aunt Bee and Uncle  Fred  will be able 
to buy, with a subsidy from Congress,  the grantor  of all funds,  an HDTV 
tuner or converter box that will output NTSC thru  and channel 3 or 4 modulator 
ketterboxed on their old General Electric 25 inch  4:3 set.   All taken care 
of by the FCC and Congress.
 
If radio had a 10  to 20 year mandate to get off analog,  I   know that the 
receivers would be out there sooner.
