Gee, and do any of these European countries lack government-owned or
controlled broadcasters as is the case in the U.S.?
Hardly works? That's so 2004 (or earlier)

Nearly all the comments I see about the DTV transition here in the U.S. seem
to refer to all those European countries
who have made easy work of their DTV transitions.
Should I have to point out that none of those other countries have anywhere
near the same numbers of viewers,
OTA TV stations, square miles, geographical diversity, numbers and sizes of
markets, cable systems, satellite systems
and TVs as well as an ATSC system that hardly works,
as the U.S.does?
You cannot reasonably compare the German and Dutch transitions to what is
[supposedly] happening here.
