Sorry Cliff. I guess my inner troll got the best of me for a moment.
I assure you I'm not upset at you or anyone else on this list.
I'm simply complaining [and will never stop] about the rotten situation
that has existed over DTV in the US since the mid 1990s when a bad
system was foisted on the entire country for political and economic
reasons rather than choosing one that actually works and is capable of
replacing analog NTSC OTA broadcasts on a viewer by viewer basis.
After Feb. 2009, the ATSC system will be found to serve fewer than half
of the country's population [who rely solely on OTA] and it will then
finally be replaced with something that should have been selected early
on based on it's performance merits and not like the system chosen which
was rammed down our throats for reasons of propping up a failing US
television manufacturer that was soon thereafter bought out by an
offshore company anyway, thus making the whole endeavor useless from
start to finish.
Here I can truly say, "Only in America."
