Back to the real thread. Are there any long range plans to go all-digital with IPAWS/CAP/EAS? Much like the DTV transition has changed TV, why not do an all D-EAS transition? Dream with me... with D-EAS adding another PID (or two, or three, or 65,535) to a stream is not that big of a deal. A D-EAS decoder could be user-selectable to whatever language the user wants
