Re: NTSC tuners to be extinct ... when?

In the US, ATSC tuners are gradually making an appearance in TV's, DVR's,

are now posting disclaimers alongside the NTSC-only sets. When will the
trend shift the other way? When will these gizmos only be built with ATSC
tuners? How close will we get to the Feb. 2009 NTSC cutoff deadline before
this happens?



I think that some of the 2008 models will be ATSC/QAM only. Remember that NTSC is NOT going away on some cable systems for quite a few more years. That is why I think that we will still see some NTSC/ATSC/QAM models for a few more years.
