I was really talking about YOUR business "horse" which hasn't the nerve to leave the paddock!
It's easy to sit back, watch the world go by, and say you wanted to do this, or you would have done that. Do SOMETHING, succeed or fail, and then tell us what's right and what's wrong with some degree of credibility.

If the horses are 8-VSB, MPEG2, and Interlace running against COFDM based modulations, MPEG4 or the latest from ON2 and progressive what can I say? It seems pretty obvious to me. Some races are fixed. Sometimes the best horse isn't allowed to run. But this is hardly a race. My arguments have always been that 8-VSB, MPEG2 and interlace should never have been used at all. They will all go away it is just at what cost in time and money. In 1999 I proposed that ON2's product be used with a generic chip to allow upgrades and that the US should allow a COFDM based modulation, DVB-T. And I was a fan of progressive over interlaced. I think history will show that those were the way to go and that the path the US took only led to delay and waste. I don't think free OTA DTV will long survive after the transition with 8-VSB. It may come after it is realized that most receivers are now, say 7-8 years, capable of receiving both advanced COFDM modulations and 8-VSB so that broadcasters will be allowed to use either. In the meantime OTA DTV will languish in the sub 5% of households region. Bob Miller On 6/28/07, John Golitsis <jgolitsis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Horses race for money.
