How relevant to anyone is the relative performance of PAL receivers versus NTSC? This is not to say that receivers shouldn't be better in the areas of sensitivity ad selectivity and rejecting interference .

How do you actually know where ATSC is compared to the latest DVB-T receiver performance if it has not been tested recently. There could be quite a gap or none at all. It would be a sad thing if we just "assumed" that the theoretical or stated receiver specs implied actual performance in the field. As I recall, original assumptions about a theoretical 3dB advantage to ATSC evaporated in real testing -then. Where are we now? regards Barry
