Transitions don't always wait until the last moment. It didn't happen
in the UK or any other country I know of. Only the US where
broadcasters have a basic conflict of interest with their own OTA
spectrum and cable carriage.
And decent receivers have not shown up yet. When they do they will be
capable of mobile reception and will be using something other than
8-VSB. Actually you might say decent receivers have shown up in cell
phones capable of receiving Mediaflo.
