Why can't we have something like this here in the states? {Engadget HD}

Apr 2nd 2006 10:49PM I really think that tech-mavens will jump on the portable DTV tuner devices when US device producers get a clue that digital multicasting is the next battle ground for broadcast television.

I'm not sold that the phone is the right device for the DTV tuner, but hey, its a start!

Creative use of sub channeling will increase the amount of content that is available to the portable DTV device owner, making it a no-fuss way to access quality content on the go.

Does anyone else want this?!?!? If not, why?
