Quite the contrary. Then why were performance requirements written into the FCC regulations?

I do remember the manufacturers complaining about the added cost of later mandates that attempted to put UHF on an equal level with VHF. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
