More information is available in the FCC News Release FCC Adopts Technical Standards for Display of Closed Captioning on Digital Television Receivers . The total factory sales since January 2000 now stands at 129,438. The figures are for both DTV and HDTV display monitors, some of which require the addition of a set-top box to receive digital broadcasts and for DTV and HDTV sets that included a DTV tuner. And many consumers are simply opting to buy DTV and HDTV displays now - to enhance their analog TV and DVD experience. Broadcasters made a commitment to deliver DTV in return for the loan of valuable public spectrum.
Further delays are a denial of the public trust.
Information was obtained from a CEA Press Release, which should be available for a limited time at the CEA Newsroom .
