You are heading into the region of fantasy again. You somehow think that
the biggest problem facing the United States and the new administration
(which you have soured on) is the transition to digital tv?
What a fool. You need to get a life.
They haven't spent more than a few seconds on how we got into the
housing/credit mess. The facts are clear; Congress made a decision more
than 12 years ago.
And, please, you fool, the same 30 foot reception planning criteria are used
for EVERY terrestrial, fixed transmission system. Stick to what you know;
in other words, tell us about what your neighbors are doing.

Hey, criticizing 8vsb is one of the things that has kept this list going
for years.
In a month we are going to be given a chance to do it in earnest,
assuming the whole thing is not somehow filibustered one more time. And
I think the Obama administration could make hay of a fact finding
mission to determine what really happened when they re-evaluated COFDM
back in 2001. It would be good theater allowing first a search for the
guilty and then a search for a solution.
It is pretty much a done deal that we will be using 8vsb. But it is not
yet proven it will be a success or that we will never allow anything else.
But feel free to use a kill file if it seems appropriate. Heck, feel
free to tell all your friends they have no right to complain about
reception if they are not willing to put up a 30' rooftop rotor antenna.
Let us know how that works for you.
8vsb is far from perfect. Some aspects may be fixable or already fixed.
Some may not be.
About one more month! ;-)
