Here's a simple explanation, quite forgiveable by me.

In the testing of DTT receivers here, I would often get some channels 
but not others.  A recent posting on another list discusses getting six 
out of nine channels in a particular city, and that was with a 
5th-generation LG integrated set.

So, if I'm station A in a market, and I promote DTT, and my viewers buy 
receivers and discover they can't get me, at best I've ticked off my 
viewers.  At worst, I've sent them to the competition.

TTFN,
Mark
