		Analog TV: Analog technology has been in use for the past 50 years to transmit conventional TV signals to consumers.
		Digital Monitor: DTV monitors are televisions that can display a digital signal but lack an integrated tuner (unlike an integrated digital set), and thus cannot receive a digital broadcast signal without an additional set-top box.
		For example, interoperability would be required for a digital television set to be plugged into a VCR that is plugged into cable with all the components working together.

	(WO 01/28255) DIGITAL AND ANALOG TELEVISION SIGNAL DIGITIZATION AND PROCESSING DEVICE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		(57) A digital and analog television signal digitization and processing device that performs the digitization and processing functions using a common reference frequency source that is used to generate multiple subclock signals, wherein the reference frequency source is independent of any synchronizing characteristic of the input signal.
		For dual channel analog signal processing, the common frequency source is not locked to either channel/input signal.
		Advantageously, the present invention allows all of the analog-to-digital converters and decoder circuitry/logic necessary for simultaneously digitizing and processing several analog and digital television signals to be integrated on a single integrated circuit as well as eliminating duplicate frequency generation circuits.

	Over the Air Reliance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		APTS emphasized the importance of ensuring a successful and consumer-friendly transition to digital-only broadcasting and discussed the interest of public television stations in returning their analog channels early, provided that three policy reforms are made.
		Further, APTS argued that because the cost of television sets with integrated ATSC tuners is still quite high and has not received wide consumer acceptance, the issue of over-the-air reliance cannot be resolved solely by relying on projected price decreases.
		Under this policy, there would be a gradual cessation of analog service, whereby (a) analog service would be shut off on a rolling geographic or market basis, coupled with (b) a decrease in analog power levels over time as digital broadcasters increase to full power.
