I prefer, Melrose Place in Space because it rhymes. :)

Good post. I had all but forgotten that there was a time where I didn't have to pay to watch TV. It actually came through the air for free!

Anyway, my question is: will any of this change once Congress makes up its mind about when to make the switch to all-digital broadcasts? What will happen to this "free" type of broadcast... will it just go away?
