Sorry, nonsense. The modulation scheme does not even have to appear in the
advertizing, and it hardly shows up in the parts list. The delta compared
with selling DVB-T is nil. As things are today, with no advertizing at all,
the ATSC products still sell out (mostly because way understocked).
Quiero is being replaced with a FTA plus pay plan that
is, like Freeview, wildly sucessful. Why?
That's obvious, Bob. Was the analog FOTA system wildly successful BEFORE DTT
was introduced? If yes, then any improvement on analog FOTA will make it
easier for DTT to be successful. But not payt schemes that look like poor
man's cable.
For example most if not all Qualcomm's Mediaflow will be
FTA within two years of starting service.
TV to cell phones still has to prove itself. I wouldn't pretend like it's a
slam dunk.
