It's so annoying when you do this, Craig. If your memory fails you,
check it out before knee-jerk disagreeing.
In fact, the FCC made this comment also as far back as 1999.
Read FCC/OET 99-2:
"The study also concludes that, as with most products, performance
improvements in DTV receivers will continue to be made over time. From
recent announcements and claims regarding the availability of improved
equalizer chips, it appears reasonable to conclude that manufacturers
are working to improve 8-VSB receivers, including the receivers' indoor
reception and signal acquisition capabilities. In this regard, CE
manufacturers indicated that improved receivers will be available this
fall and that further improvements will be introduced next year."
In spite of the continued whining, this came to pass.
