I invite you over to my apartment then. before I got cable I was able to get th three locals via a very crappy pair of rabbit ears. Tried to get just ONE station with the antenna andthe digital box, and NOTHING.
My parents, tehy have an outdoor antenna, rotates and all that. They can get 2/5 local channels via analog. With the box? ZERO.
Now if I lived in center city Philly I bet I'd be a-ok. But I do not. So to truly solve this issue Congress needs to send out vouchers for big ass antennas for the people who live outside the 20 miles of great digital reception.
So they wouldn't actually spend all the money but could CLAIM it was all spent. ( ie Some people will forget, or will keep a card for posterity's sake)
So what you are suggesting is that a company that is bringing in 20% profit off one customer should voluntarily reduce that to 19% profit? have you no shame?
People like you are always going on about 'fair use', I've yet to see a video on Youtube that had 30 seconds or less of copyrighted music playing ( 30 seconds is always in the battle cry: "it was just a small 30 second clip" ).
Re-read the codified law concerning copyright again. Please.

As I am in the Broadband field and a crap load of gov't money would be great.
Why?
Yep. Unless you live within 20 miles of the big cities, you're not gonna get ANYTHING without a new outdoor rotating antenna.
I guess we'll see in 2 weeks,

the US is huge. And rural Americans need not just a convertor box but a big ass antenna, that rotates. Do you need those in the UK?
That site will not be down for ever.

Congress will pass a bill that has one purpose and has no earmarks.
Innocent until proven guilty.
I set that shit up so it does fall over. then I go home and tap my wife in the pooper. We call it, probing the network.
I just bought an RCA box wat Walmart that has both RCA OUT and Coax OUT, and was voucher approved.
Total cost after voucher was 9 bucks.
