John, to rehash, the first positive test results for
8-VSB occurred way back in 2000, in Hong Kong.
That FCC report was published April 2001. In April of
2002, the CRC tested the Linx receiver prototype. In
March of 2003, Linx tested an integrated version of
their receiver in Chicago. In September of 2003, the
CRC published test results of a comparison test between
COFDM and 8-VSB, including use of on-channel repeaters,
in the IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting (Vol 49 No. 3).
Brief reports on the LG 5th gen appeared sometime in
early 2004, IIRC.
So what that report said was proving true shortly after
it was written.
After the FCC decision of 2002, I focused on what was
happening with 8-VSB, rather than keep moaning about
comparison tests dating back to 1999.
If very good receivers haven't been on store shelves
for the past 6 months or more, it's not because the
technology doesn't exist. Better channel your
frustrations where they might do some good. We're not
going to DVB-T over here.
