From the CNET article:

"If that initial $890 million worth of coupons run out, NTIA has the power to ask Congress to hand over an additional $450 million, creating up to 11,250,000 more vouchers. *Those* [emphasis mine - BC] coupons would be reserved, however, for households that self-certify that they rely solely on over-the-air broadcasts, as opposed to cable or satellite."

and from TWICE:

"However, if the additional funds are needed, eligibility for those coupons will be limited exclusively to over-the- air-only television households, according to NTIA rules. Consumers requesting coupons *from these contingent funds* [emphasis mine - BC] must self-certify to NTIA that they do not subscribe to cable, satellite or other pay television services."

I want the ATSC tuner to output SD video on SVHS, Composite, but I suppose putting out on VHF Channel 3 makes sense for this sort of purpose. And since it is designed to work when all of the VHF channels have gone away, there's really no reason for it to even have an RF channel selector.]]>Mar 14th 2007 2:47PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/03/13/digital-converter-stb-details-decided/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/03/13/digital-converter-stb-details-decided/
VHF is not going away, once the transition is complete many channels are going back to their VHF allotments.]]>Mar 19th 2007 7:40AM
