It describes the standard as well as give performance goals. Interestingly, the terrestrial receiver requirements are not all that stringent. I obviously failed to make my point; which is that the DVB standard protects those who purchase a receiver labeled as such, verses the ATSC non standard, that basically says: "buyer beware". However, the new information from Terry Smith may indicate that the DVB possibly does note enforce its labeling policy other than by listing which product on the market are unregistered. And that was interesting info from Terry. But I didn't miss your point, I simply moved beyond it, to see whether Nordig in fact did anything to "guarantee" good reception any more than A/74 does. Hello I just wanted to explain that the Nordig is not connected to the DVB organisation. Nordig is some nordic operators that define specifications for a STB to be compatible with their network, EPG and content protection etc. I don't think the cheap freeview boxes meet Nordig and the don't have to. The are still DVT-T but can put the nordig logo on the box, no consumer know what nordig is anyway. /Eric --- Links --- 1 mailto:albert.e.manfredi@xxxxxxxxxx ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
