John,

Your comparison between DVB-hierarchal modulation and E-VSB is nebulous. 
You have no quantitative data to support your assertion.

I recall the NAB demonstration. I was impressed but show me the direct C/N 
ratio, BERs and bandwidths employed for a direct comparison. I suspect that 
you will find that E-VSB is more robust under the comparison you describe.
