| | | Little difference
I see so little difference between the 2 why would I want to change to it. As far as an ATSC mod output that will have to be done to be compatible with non NTSC TV's that will be out after the shut off date. I was hoping to see a unit that had 2 HD outputs as well as well as 2 OTA tuners.

There are no plans for manufacturers to stop including NTSC tuners in their sets. Analog cable will be with us for many years to come. Plus, there are other reasons to continue including NTSC tuners, and little to be gained by dropping them.
BTW, I made a typo in an earlier post. The digital conversion date is February 17, 2009.

I work for a BPL company, and we run up to and over 85Mbps over in house powerlines. If dish really wanted to make it work, it would.
