The Coalition outlined its three primary changes to the proposed
legislation:

* The Legislation must include a provision to compensate low-income
Americans for the cost of set-top converter boxes;

* The legislation should authorize multicast must-carry;

* The legislation needs to ensure that cable systems provide subscribers
with traditional, analog televisions with the signal from all local
broadcasters, while also providing the full, HDTV signal to those
subscribers who have invested in a digital television set. The board made the
declaration at its regularly scheduled meeting on April 28.
