[opendtv] 040518 Twang's Tuesday Tribune (Mark's Monday Memo)
- From: Mark Schubin <tvmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- To: Multiple Addresses Suppressed <tvmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Tue, 18 May 2004 23:23:52 -0400
- Follow-ups:
- July 1 dates - I just noticed that I had been using the 100%
years for the 36-inch-and-up and 27-inch-and-up mandates rather than the
50% years. I've made the change this week. The mandate begins in less
than a month and a half.
- IEEE 54th Annual Broadcast Symposium - The deadline for abstracts
has been extended to June 7.
The deadline for abstracts for the International Symposium on
Consumer Electronics in the UK (the only IEEE conference on consumer
electronics this year because the International Conference on Consumer
Electronics has been postponed to the Consumer Electronics Show, CES) is
May 31:

Speaking of CES, it's expanding into the Sands Convention Center,
which the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) finally managed to
leave:

- Stations dropping analog and becoming digital only - The latest
is KCSM, a college PBS in San Mateo. According to program director
Steve Opson, "Who watches TV with rabbit ears anymore? Mainly it's
older viewers who don't want to subscribe to cable. We'd like to help
them, but we can't help them." He estimated the station would lose
eight percent of its viewers:

According to Multichannel News, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) is planning to issue a public notice seeking
information on the number of U.S. TV households relying exclusively on
terrestrial TV broadcasts. The full story requires a paid subscription:
<http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA417064?display=Breaking+News>
Of course, EVERY year the FCC seeks (and receives) that information
as part of its Multichannel Video Programming Distribution Competition
report. According to the most-recent report (data from June 2003), the
answer was 14.75% (although I think the FCC made a mistake; they list
12,491,910 households, which would be 11.7%). But that's households,
not TVs:

"Old televisions and VCRs never die; they just move to other
rooms." That's one of the things keynote luncheon speaker Tom Rutledge,
chief operating officer of Cablevision Systems Corporation, said at
today's CableLabs Media Briefing in New York. By Rutledge's estimates,
there might easily be half a billion analog TVs and VCRs in use in the
U.S. today, and, bucking recent statements from other cable executives,
he said Cablevision has no plans to disenfranchise them by going all
digital. He said Cablevision has more bandwidth available than it can use.
- May 1 -
- Neither the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) nor the
Association of Public Television Stations (APTS) updated their lists
this week.
- On May 11, the NAB increased its list to 1216 DTT stations
operating in 207 U.S. markets:
<http://www.nab.org/Newsroom/issues/digitaltv/DTVStations.asp>
- According to Doug Lung's RF report, the FCC's own CDBS
database listed only 523 licensed U.S. DTT stations as of May 9:

- July 1 is also when the latest CableCARD mandate kicks in, allowing
owners of "digital-cable-ready" TVs to insert a security card alloowing
them access to programming. At today's CableLabs media briefing, I
asked CableLabs vp of Advanced Services and Platforms Don Dulchinos and
Time Warner Cable senior vp of strategy and development their best
estimate of how many subscribers were already using CableCARDs (which,
in one form or another, have been mandated for years). They laughed and
then debated whether it was greater or fewer than five. Both expected
the number to climb rapidly soon, even though only one-way cable
services are currently available. Everyone said there is great
cooperation between cable and consumer-electronics interests on getting
the two-way standard (allowing cable electronic program guides, impulse
pay-per-view, etc.) completed, but that date is said to be not close.

- The FCC plans to allow unlicensed Wi-Fi-like broadband transmissions
in unused TV channels:
<http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-247169A1.pdf>
The unanimous decision drew some cautions from broadcasters, of
which this from NAB president Edward Fritts was typical. "We will work
with the FCC to ensure that this proposal can be accommodated while
preserving interference-free over-the-air television":
<http://www.nab.org/Newsroom/PressRel/statements/S0904.htm>
It's not as though this is the first time unlicensed devices have
shared unused TV spectrum. Most professional wireless mics seem to use
TV channels these days. But it IS a little strange that the FCC would
do this while the DTT transition is in progress and before the spectrum
has been repacked.
Here's the packing plan recently submitted to the FCC by the
Association for Maximum Service Television:
<http://www.mstv.org/docs/MSTV%20Filing%205-6-04.pdf>
This is a partial summary of it:

And here is a story about the problems it will be causing one New
York station (the URL seems to work for non-subscribers):

set-top receiver/decoders for under UKP50 ($88.48 at today's conversion

- Two Welsh villages have been selected for an analog-shutdown
trial. Anyone not yet getting DTT will get a Freeview box:

- A posting on the OpenDTV Forum says the BBC is developing an
"alternative" bit-rate reduction codec:

The Dirac codec uses wavelet technology:

- South Korea has reportedly "delayed the adoption of a national
digital television standard by six months" because the government wants
"to review a European technology as well as the United States standard":
<http://www.yonhapnews.co.kr/Engnews/20040512/300500000020040512152822E3.html>
- There have been many stories of phones that can receive DTT;
Samsung has one that can receive DBS (satellite TV). It will be
available in South Korea this fall:
<http://news.com.com/2100-1041_3-5213732.html>
- Australia is also reviewing its DTT rules, in this case not the
transmission system but restrictions on multicasting and subscription
programming. This is a summary:

This is the government discussion paper:
<http://www.dcita.gov.au/Article/0,,0_1-2_10-3_469-4_118686,00.html>
- The International Telecommunications Union is reportedly planning
for DTT in Iran and parts of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East:
<http://www.advanced-television.com/2004/news_archive_2004/May17_21.htm#itu>
- From the inception of DTT in Japan last December through the end
of March, some 722,000 DTT-reception-equipped TVs were shipped:

printable TV screen) discussed or shown at the recent Consumer
Electronics Association/MIT event:
<http://www.ce.org/press_room/press_release_detail.asp?id=10460>
- Based on figures from CEA, sales of VCRs to U.S. dealers were down
67.1% for the first 17 weeks of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003
(but it might be worth noting that more TV/VCR combos were sold in the
first 17 weeks than TV/DVD combos). Non-H/DTV direct-view TV sets were
UP 6.5%. My ten-week running average for them was up 5.9%.
So-called "Digital Television" sales to U.S. dealers for the 17th
week were 108,768 units. For the first 17 weeks of the year, there were
1,284,410 units. "Digital Televisions" (most of which are HDTV displays
without DTT-reception capability) accounted for about 14.7% of the TVs
(not counting plasma or direct-view LCD) sold to U.S. dealers so far
this year. It may be worth noting here what that means. Over 85% of
the TVs sold so far this year were still plain non-H/DTV direct-view TVs
with picture tubes.
To qualify as a "Digital Television," a display need only be
capable of dealing with at least 480p; it need not be capable of either
receiving digital signals or displaying them. Devices actually capable
of receiving DTT signals are still a small fraction of those numbers.
- Ads for set-top DTT receivers: I'm aware of only the Samsung at J&R.
- The ads - I'm not certain I've correctly calculated the price on the
Samsung LCD TVs at Circuit City; they listed both "savings" and rebate.
Circuit City no longer calls ordinary LCD TVs "digital."

- According to CEA, sales of DVD players to U.S. dealers for the
first 17 weeks of 2004 were up 7% over the same period in 2003. My
ten-week running average was up 5.8%. The single-digit growth rate
seems firm.
