> Doug's scheme, or more correctly the Patel-Limberg-McDonald scheme, was a
brilliant attempt to fix the ATSC training signals in the least incompatible
manner. They approached the problem in much the same way DVB-T did: make the
DTV signal itself carry all the information necessary for a simple receiver
to acquire and track the characteristics of the unknown RF channel.
Unfortunately, the desire for backward compatibility seems to have precluded
any real attempt to fix the deficiencies of the ATSC 8-VSB signal structure.

receivers simple (i.e., cheap), we still have the situation where clever and
probably very complex DSP hardware is required in the receiver to achieve
results we can call "excellent." At least someone has finally done that.
