HDTV (ATSC) is a technology that has influenced my life in pretty serious ways. My first tuner was a Sony SAT-HD100[0] in 2001. Witnessing the transition into digital TV through my VGA port, in retrospect, taught me tons about how technology adoption, development, and standardization actually works in the real world.
