Because in 2002, the FCC conducted a series of tests, from which it determined that 8-VSB receivers were improving fast enough to offer a viable DTT system. That's done. The fact is, the FCC was right in that conclusion, and there's no point dwelling on it. So once again I'll ask you, what makes you think that if the FCC had chosen to switch to COFDM, that the COFDM boxes built for the US market would be any better than what we get now from 8-VSB? COFDM boxes are just as easy to mess up as it was to mess up the LG design. Think conspiracy theory. If there are dark forces out there intent on demolishing US FTA TV, forces which have "gotten to" the good folk at LG, what would keep them from doing the same thing to US-spec COFDM box manufacturers? (Somewhat tongue in cheek.)
