To clarify my last transmission. The count for NTSC receiving Head Ends
should only be those that get the NTSC signal via an off air feed. I think
it is still a large number and it should be able to be determined with a
little phone work in each market. Feeding the head end with fiber or
microwave is thus counter productive to the broadcasters position.
