Well, my response to that would be that just because some capability wasn't explicitly stated should not have been interpreted to mean that it couldn't be done. There was never any reason to doubt that 8-VSB could be received in a mobile application, at least comparable with NTSC. This is the same sort of argument that "ATSC is only to be used with 30' masts." Why? What law of physics makes such a bold statement? Or similarly, that 8-VSB required special antenna aiming. Why? All of these were simplistic truisms. You have seen plenty of posts on this list that contradicted those comments, from plenty of contributors, over several years. Right?
