You have something elsse that the typical consumer does not have:
The equipment and ability to screw around with this stuff.
What you have described above is one of MANY reasons that ATSC
broadcasting has been stillborn in the U.S.
Consumers are not interested in going through these hassles, just to
receive a dying television service.
It is absurd to believe that U.S> television broadcasters can survive
with the current business model and a retro transmission technology
that does not work as well as the system that is being replaced
(which did not work well either).
We need to start over and build a digital transmission system that is
appropriate for the next fifty years.
