Cliff, of course.
The fact that it doesn't points out that the problem has
been ignored for at least 10 years by the industry and the FCC.
By the CE industry, sure.
By the FCC? Only if there was some fundamental flaw in the transmission
standard that cause this problem.
I do not agree at all that the lip-sync issue is purely a receiver
problem. I know chief engineers at the network level who fight the
lip-sync issue in the process of transmitting a proper signal. Sports
remotes for example.
Surely laws have been broken by this and those both responsible
and irresponsible should be brought to justice.
What laws have been broken? The laws that forbid CE manufacturers from
designing less than perfect products?
YES.
Are digital TV receivers, dvd recorders with ATSC tuners and digital set
top converter boxes no longer required to meet minimum performance FCC
requirements?
Every single ATSC device I own that receives a digital TV signal has an
FCC ID number on the model label. Isn't this a performance guarantee
that the receiver will properly receive an ATSC signal?
Apparently not according to what you just wrote.
