I suppose that if even 1st gen ATSC receivers did as well as any other
system in Hong Kong, back in 2000, this decision is technically
non-critical.

Hong Kong opts for Chinese DTV standard
Terrestrial broadcasters in Hong Kong have chosen to adopt China's
home-grown standard for digital terrestrial television known as DMB-T
(Digital Media Broadcasting Terrestrial).
DMB-T-which, despite the similar name is completely different to the
South Korean mobile broadcast technology-was selected by China's
Standardisation Administration in September, and will become the
mandatory broadcast signal for broadcasters from August 1, 2007.
Hong Kong's Television Broadcasts (TVB) and Asia Television (ATV) has
now told the Office of the elecommunications Authority (OFTA) that they
too will adopt DMB-T. The Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) said the
OFTA would make a final decision before the end of March.
According to the ABU, both TVB and ATV have run laboratory tests of
DMB-T in China and field tests in Hong Kong.
