Japan does not have many OTA digital channels

I should also mention that not even Tokyo has as many digital TV
broadcasters as a moderate-sized US city.

In Tokyo, there are 8 TV stations: NHK general, NHK educational, NTV, TBS,
Fuji, TV Asahi, TV Tokyo, and MXTV. Some parts of Tokyo may also receive
TVK (Kanagawa prefecture, to the south) and Chiba TV (Chiba prefecture, to
the north).

In Kanazawa (Ishikawa prefecture), there are only 6 TV stations: NHK
general, NHK educational, TV Kanazawa, Hokuriku Asahi, Hokuriku, and
Ishikawa TV.

Compare that to Seattle, which has 19 TV stations (one of which is
digital-only, so 18 analog stations), and 34 digital channels (of which 8
are HDTV).

Yet, Psycho Bob Miller claims that US digital TV is a "failure" compared
to Japan.
