My understanding is that in order for Cable to carry HDTV signal (video 480p, 720p 1080i, audio Digital Dolby, DTS) they have to give up some channels because of the bandwidth requirements. Therefore less channel line up == less revenue.
The 'must carry' rule, I believe, does not apply to satellite though they are carrying local broadcasters in the largest metro areas (NYC, LA, Atlanta..)
As for HDTV in the main stream, prior to Sept 11, NYC was the best place for receiving HDTV over the air. This obvious is a setback.

All I ask is for a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
