I guess it was too much to expect to pay $29 a month for a select few cable channels.

I got my receiver 1 1/2 years ago for $20 at wal mart. I can still use it to receive HD signals and convert them to analig tv.

USDTV is still on the air, but who knows how much longer.

oops, that was $20/ month, NOT $29/month.

had gleaned a total of about 16,000 subscribers in its four initial markets: Dallas-Ft. Worth, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City (its based of operations).

They made a fundamental error going into markets that are already built-out. They would have had more success in an underserved area, charging a higher price.
