[opendtv] Re: Compare and contrast to MSTV's 1999 position/testing

Maybe Bert will be shown to be right and with modern receivers there will be negligible multipath problems. If so I will be pleasantly surprised.
I just hope the press and thus Congress doesn't suddenly discover that some 8vsb problems exist now before February of next year. I think it would be much simpler to deal with any problems after the transition, no matter how painful. And there will be a new administration and collection of Congress Critters that can blame any problems on the republicans of yesteryear. Like with the war, that may make it easier to change direction as needed.

PS - and what's happened to all the traffic on this list recently?

And in 2000, MSTV was told to ignore the flaws in the chosen COFDM receiver for the Washington/Baltimore/Cleveland MSTV-NAB tests. 

(Yes, Bert, I know.)

Seems to me that MSTV's perspective now is at odds with their defense of 8-VSB 
in late 1999.
