I think your #1 myth is a bit inaccurate, or at least a bit deceptive. While the government is not forcing all OTA channels to be HD within a certain timeframe, they absolutely DO have a deadline to move to the digital frequencies -- and they absolutely WILL cut off OTA analog signals by that deadline. The government wants that frequency spectrum badly - hence the governments deadlines and drop dead dates. While there is no guarantee that OTA will be in high-def on those dates, they will be transmitting a digital signal at a frequency that current analog TVs will not be able to receive.
