There is huge potential in this.  TV signals, as we all know, can travel tremendous distances and aren't limited by line of sight.  And, of course, can go through walls.  Consumer applications of this might be interesting.  First go to your TV and see what channels you don't get, set the hardware...That probably would be too hard.  They would need to have auto-scanning I think.  For providers, I would think it is a little more complicated.  I'm sure it will get worked out soon enough.
