Keith Lynch, May 14 2014: "MPR News \342\200\217@MPRnews:  News Cut:  Why your new TV may soon be worthless  http://mprne.ws/2GufN7"

  It has already been determined that ATSC 3.0 will not be backward-compatible with the current standard, so TV sets in existence today will not work with it.

 "TV Technology said the government is not likely to fund any sort of conversion box as it did when it mandated broadcasters begin transmitting with digital signals.  'Consumers then will have to  either buy a new TV or subscribe to some type of subscription pay-TV or OTT service,' it said."

I've said it before and I'll say it again:  Consumers will get the worst treatment they're willing to put up with.  And government is, of course, not on their side.

I'd like to see all ATSC 3.0 content providers go bankrupt, as nobody buys their incompatible content.  Further, I'd like to see everyone with a recent TV that stops working return it to the store and demand a full refund.  And to take the case to court if the store refuses.

Also see the comments at that URL.  (You may need to use wget to get past the "403 Forbidden" error.  ATSC is not the only incompatible thing around.)
