History
U.S. Digital Television was formed in June 2003 and launched its service as a test in Salt Lake City near the end of 2003. On March 16, 2004, 1000 subscribers sign up with no advertising. US Digital also launched into the Albuquerque, New Mexico market. At that time, the company expected to enter the Las Vegas market next plus an additional 30 markets by the end of the year. In the fourth quarter 2004, fifth-generation chips and ATSC tuners would be supplied by LG for USDTV tuners and would be available.
In September 2005, Hearst-Argyle Television, McGraw-Hill Companies, News Corp.'s Fox Television Stations, LIN TV, and Morgan-Murphy Stations broadcasters invested $26 million in the company. Steven Lindsley indicated that the investing broadcasting companies did not think that the service would be able to compete against the cable companies thus withdrawing support from USDTV.

Somebody tells you to be yourself, somebody can’t recognize my voice, They say, they know me better than I’ll ever will and of course they bore me Someone experiments with my nerves, the other thinks my career is over Of course it is, says somebody else If I ever Get to you, to you too, I’ll not forget you. And what I want to say to you is, don’t be so blue, Be so very you, not only Jesus loves you, I guess I can love you, too What’s bringing me down, these million voices, before I get to you / What’s bringing me down, familiar voices
