The mandate is for digital television, not high definition television -- there's a big difference. Besides, what you're more likely to see is widespread purchases of set-top boxes that convert the digital signals to analog which will allow today's non-digital sets to operate as usual.

They'll walk into the store...and walk out with a flat panel TV - 4season 20:36:47 10/19/07 (1)
Don't underestimate the appeal of those panels! Even now, the popular sizes are pretty affordable, and they're largely HDMI-equipped and 720p/1080i. Circuit City lists 19" sets starting at $269.99, and that's a pretty mainstream price if you ask me.

  Especially when you can get a brand new and more advanced 50" Panasonic plasma for 1/3 the cost of what I paid for mine 4 years ago! My wallet, my wallet, my poor wallet!
  
  Oh, well... it's still a beautiful plasma.
