The Constitution doesn't say squat about digital television receivers. For these government pigs to mandate an end to analog broadcasts is fascism. Oh, and that $1.5 billion the government "appropriated" is money stolen from the people who earned it. Even if they were subsidized, there's no way these boxes would be "free".

The Radio Shack tuner was very slow as well. There will also be demand from many earlier adopters of hdtv. Basic tuners bare bone tuners may eventually be in the $40 dollar range. But if you want a nice desk top tuner with other features like QAM, and recording capability prices will scale up.
