I disagree -- at least as regards the tests of the LG 5th-generation box
in my apartment. Here's the relevant section of my memo of July 22 in 2004:
"When I say 'reliably,' I mean not only that the pictures and sound were
okay but that people could move around the room and I could move the
antenna around without causing any breakup. It WAS possible for me to
find an orientation where I could make it fail, but I really had to try,
even on WNYW-DT, which could previously be received only with the
antenna on the floor."
But I agree with Bob that what we tested does not yet appear to be
available in any set-top box being sold. No receiver tested here before
or since has worked as well -- and that includes Samsung's latest.
TTFN,
Mark
