And, that is fact.
After spending a couple of years as a representative at ATSC and watching
the blatant technical gerrymandering by the CE folks, I can say that loudly
and with conviction.
But, lets get on with making VSB work, it's what we have and not what we
could've had that counts.

Bert,
That one report by Jan was one of the Sinclair demonstrations
that was used
to compile the report you quoted.
The DVB-T used was 2K, first generation as well. If you are
going to assume
that ATSC receivers will get more sensitive over time, you must
make similar
assumptions w/r/t DVB-T receivers as well.
If you think ATSC is good enough, then you are free to end
posting on this
list. I for one, as a broadcaster, am still not happy with ATSC for more
reasons than just it's performance at Mark's Apartment. ATSC still has
serious flaws and is still playing catch-up with DVB-T. Always has been,
and it always will be. DVB-T is infinitely more flexible,
extensible, and
adaptable, whereas ATSC gets kludge after kludge that will never
be adopted.
Thank you for the lecture, however.
John

John, I believe in full and honest disclosure. If you mention the
Sinclair tests, then talk about the Sinclair tests. Not someone else's
test.
