What generation are you using to form your opinions? NONE. When you have firsthand experience with an ATSC receiver, then you will be more qualified to pass judgment on the state of the art. Until then, you can remain arguing theory. PBS will commission the design, manufacture, and distribution of ATSC receivers in exactly the same manner as they have had to do for lo these many years with NTSC receivers. There are over a dozen companies ready, willing, and able to enter the U.S. Market with DVB-T receivers, while at the same time the number of ATSC receiver manufacturers dwindles down to two or three. Watch the video and get an education. Or don't watch it and hold onto your beliefs. www.viacel.com/bob.wmv John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Manfredi, Albert E" <albert.e.manfredi@xxxxxxxxxx> > John, what generation receiver are you using to > form your opinions?
