I could not find a thread on this article or topic, so if it exists then please Mods, shut this down.

Just found it somewhat discouraging

DISH and DirecTV Given Okay to Downgrade HD Offerings. (http://www.electronichouse.com/article/dish_directv_to_downgrade_hd_offerings/)

The article mentions the sat. companies being given a pass on next years deadline. I thought the deadline was for digital only, and had nothing to do with HD. In fact, I didn't know there were any HD mandates.

The Electronic House article seems to be mixing apples and plumbs with the HD and digital requirements.
