Has anyone got public data that would quantify the cost difference 
between a "good" (H)DTV receiver versus a "bad" one? Our government 
representatives are being told that it is simply too expensive to expect 
that a well performing receiver will be in the hands of Americans 
anytime soon. More to the point, we should not expect that well 
performing receivers will be the norm in the population of FCC 
"mandated" receivers.

What specifics are out there related to cost differentials?
