We also can't ignore the fact that people tend to go cheap on unexpected expenses. A lot of people who don't already own a digital ready TV probably don't have the cash to just buy a fancy HDTV (or have a better use for their money) and may choose to buy the largest TV they can get for $250 to $500 ...
