Why doesn't a phone maker partner with a Digital receiver maker and just put the damn receiver into the phone? It is not hard and can be easily done.

Is that just too clever and laterally based thinking though?

The Sega Game Gear could do it with an extender for analogue TV and that was back in the 90s, it would be easy to put a digital receiver into a phone, especially with the smart phones, it can be done on a PC with a digital receiver there is no reason why this cannot be done with the phone. Then again doing it directly on the phone won't cost billions to research and develop and it won't force customers into expensive digital TV contracts will it? Doing it this way customers have to pay for it and make the telephone companies richer than they already are.
