Hey, don't blame ATSC for the fact that technology changes more rapidly than
the ability of standards bodies to keep up and reach consensus on new
technologies. Today's ATSC standards do not use the best available video
coding, the best available audio coding, or even the best available RF
transmission system.
By the time tomorrow's ATSC standards are adopted, this will still be true --
especially with regards to the RF transmission system. I agree that "no
broadcaster will adopt E-VSB anyway." One must wonder if even the ATSC will
adopt E-VSB, and I'm not saying they should.
