I'm a consumer, not an engineer...so answer me this:
I live in an apartment downtown without cable. Why can't I get ATSC? It
doesn't work.
Why can't the United States duplicate the UK's success with off-the-air
FreeView on a $99 settop?
PLEASE tell me the reason is NOT because there were no royalty bucks for
ATSC if they adopted COFDM.
Consumers aren't stupid. ATSC screwed up.
Am I missing something or am I telling the truth?
You tell me.
