As I see it we basically just have to debate this issue for about 20 more months, while staving off any attempts to delay the cutoff. Then there will be lots of real world tests and commentary.
In the meantime maybe we could start a pool about what the percentage usage of OTA will be one year after the cutoff. Anybody want to go first? Maybe Craig would volunteer a 6-pack of home brew as a prize to the winner. ;-)

I was personally involved with Sinclair and we jointly presented arguments before the full MSTV committee regarding the DVTM2000(T) front end issue.All the more reason to use the 1999 Sinclair tests, where this was not an issue. Honestly, it seems to me that all of the improvements in 8-VSB receivers fall on deaf ears. So to get off the dime, I see no other recourse than revisiting some of the sites of tests that were not controversial from the COFDM side. I see no down sides. The worst that could happen is that 8-VSB still comes out extremely bad, and that would create no change whatever to the status quo.
