Actually the FCC mandate on the crossover was originally for some time
around 2006.
It's since been suspended.
Ultimately it's the consumer market that will determine when it will
take place.
(FYI surveys showed that the reason consumers haven't made that leap
is the over exorbitant price of a decent set. When queried in detail
they cited their distrust of an industry that burned them in the 80's
on vastly overpriced VHS machine and the tapes that went in them.)
i.e. the consumer market is now wise to the price gouging tactics ot
the electronics market and simply won't budge untill prices on HDTV
sets drop substancially.

You show all the signs of one who's completely enamored to all things
high tech. If it's not the latest and greatest you don't want it.
You'll always be caught in that viscious circle of keeping up with the
jones.
Which is exactly where the retailer want you.
