Actually, converter boxes will be readily available. The government will also issue free vouchers that will cover the costs of two sets per household.

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 ... This would (likely) be a CRT TV that handled Digital Signals.

I agree that a lot of people would like to go cheap, but I also think that HDTVs will be cheaper to buy as they become more popular.

 Of course, but that doesnt' mean people are going to throw out non compatible sets, if they are still working. The mass market doesn't work that way.
