The majority of people in the US have cable, so this doesn't affect them anyway.  Market competition will keep the manufacturers from jacking up the prices, just like it always has.  Like Zeta said, the manufacturers want to move units in quantity and will undercut the competition as much as possible to gain market share and keep sales up.

Will anyone on this forum step up and start an analog tv station so that we can still use our TurboExpress tv tuners?

Ok, ok, I don't have a TurboExpress tv tuner but still.....??

I plan on buying a RF modulator* so that I can still feed my TurboVision something on channels 3 and 4, otherwise it will starve to death and that's a hard way to go.
