Ah, the curse of the Installed Base...

According to _

http://www.mediainfocenter.org/compare/penetration/

_"69.8% of all television households have cable television."  What will 
the other thirty percent of us do when our television sets and VCR's no 
longer pick up broadcast NTSC?

I doubt too many folks will rush to shell out a few hundred bucks for a 
decoder, especially when it means they can no longer program their VCR 
to record "General Hospital" and "Lays of Our Dives"...

Folks with battery powered TV's for camping will have a rude awakening too.
