Yes, I'm willing to speculate that 8vsb is the niftiest thing since sliced bread. We should switch to it on schedule and move on to the next set of problems.

Further delay.

Thinking outside the box again. Who would have thought that
further delay was the answer?

The logic being that those who made the mess somehow might
know how to fix it?

Apples and oranges, Bob.

This delay is NOT caused by 8-VSB. This delay is caused by only one main
factor, and that factor would still apply even if we had DVB-T:

Making the transition happen, countrywide, in the blink of an eye.

My advice to the FCC is to take this request for a delay as an
opportunity to reschedule how the transition should be made. Doing it in
one fell swoop, no matter what the date, will create the same sort of
hand wringing and last minute stage frights.
