But will they work with 8VSB as well as with COFDM?
John Shutt just answered this question quite well:
He wrote:
"And yet it is that one simple component that has caused the entire US
Digital transition to be stalled since 1999 while we wait for it to be
perfected.
The problem is, even when it is "perfected" it still won't perform as well
as a COFDM receiver in a real world application. Media-Flo and DVB-H are
multi-carrier solutions. DAB is a multi-carrier solution. IBOC is a
multi-carrier solution. ISDB-T is a multi-carrier solution. Even the
Digital Television Systems in development in China are multi-carrier
solutions. For wireless broadcasting, I sense a trend in modulation
schemes, but I can't quite place my finger on what all other standards have
in common."
