? I thought that the government mandate was for OTA digital, not OTA HD, or are there two deadlines? When the OTA digital started around here, one of the 3 networks had ONLY HD, one had HD and SD, and the third network had HD,SD, and a weather channel. Now, none of the 3 networks has a SD feed. The NBC channel just has HD and weather, and the CBS feed just has HD and some music channel, TUBE or something. The ABC just has HD and nothing else. I wonder if once they are forced to drop analog if they will then include a SD channel again, or just do HD only??? Seems like there will still be a lot of people only with SD TVs, and they won't be happy if they are forced to watch HD on a SD TV.
