Dan; You are correct, except in the original document, it was called Table 3 (now A-3). And, even if Table A-3 were law, it permits HDTV and SDTV formats.

Is that true now? I thought broadcasters were required to broadcast ATSC, but nothing about what definition (in fact, Table 2 isn't even official, correct?) I think he is mistaken but I didn't want to confront him on it because so much is changing so fast, perhaps I missed something somewhere. Dan Grimes
