[opendtv] Re: A detail in the history of video standards

Yes, but I also said that I engaged in a mild exageration.  You did not
point that the nine stations you claimed for Seoul included 44% of
non-broadcast stations.

You have done nothing to even cause me to change anything about my true
assertion that Taiwan is an ATSC country.  Being an atsc country doesn't
prevent them from using any other form of communcations.

If there were points in your interjections, I have fully addressed them.

A personal point: because Taiwan and South Korea are ATSC regions, I have to
support them in my PSIP generator.  Due to the practical realities in both
countries, I will not offer versions with user controls in Chinese or Hangul
or similar character sets.  I'm "giving up" a market that could buy as many
as 4 generators, were they open markets.
