I watched DVB-T in a car in Europe. We were traveling through busy city. The 
reception was perfect. I never saw a glitch for 30 min we used that system.

I doubt that NTSC is "more reliable" than ATSC M/H. It is probably more 
reliable than ATSC, especially when compared to earlier tuners. I've watched my 
fair share of portable NTSC and other than the fact that you could almost 
always hear the audio, it pretty much stunk as an entertainment source, 
especially when mobile. Snow, ghosting, interference, chroma unlock, etc. If 
you wanted to put up with the imparities, then it would work, but today's cable 
generation probably wouldn't. However, even plain vanilla DVB-T works fairly 
well portable and mobile. DVB-H only makes it more so. ATSC doesn't work at all 
mobile, and ATSC M/H is required to make it so. John ----- Original Message
