New wireless digital TV service

Despite the fact that almost no one else has been able to succesfully do this, a start-up called USDTV is trying to build a new non-satellite wireless pay television service. Subscribers have to buy a $99 set-top box to receive the signals, which are broadcast digitally over the regular VHF and UHF television spectrum, and then pay a monthly fee of $19.95 for a small selection of cable channels like Fox News, ESPN, Discovery Channel, and regular local stations.
