I thought it as a pretty reasonable presentation - it's very ATSC 
OTA-centric, but so am I :-) Being on the right side of the digital "cliff", we get crap 
NTSC and great ATSC reception, for instance. What specifically didn't you 
like?

My main current objection is the current lack of ATSC PVR's that don't charge 
for the channel listing. I use a computer-based PVR, but my wife wants a 
"real" PVR, and the LG 3410A we've been using for years doesn't read the new 
TVGuide on-screen IPG.
