The other day I was talking to someone that had a source at one of the satellite companies (I can't remember if it was dish or directTV) that said they were working on putting a digital antenna in their box. Basically, the idea was that the vast majority of customers could just use the digital antenna to get the local channels and since it was built into their box it would be 100% seamless to the user. And then they would only have to pay the retransmission fees for those that couldn't get good enough signal. Even if they didn't turn them on, they would have some leverage as the networks tried to rake them over the coals for retransmission fees
