John,
An interesting demonstration that someone, I forget who, did was to have a
rooftop antenna feed down to a passive repeater indoor antenna. Then
portables in the home could receive signals from the passive repeater rather
than from through the walls, lessening the multipath and increasing signal
level at the portable.
However, if the popularity of mobile phones with cameras continues to
explode, then it would be the natural platform for any future "portable"
television screen. The DVB-H standard that is being proposed is aimed at
precisely that market, allowing for not only dedicated SFN's but also
allowing one's DVB-T broadcast to be modified slightly to include data for
the handhelds without breaking existing STBs. Obviously something that the
ATSC standard could never duplicate.
Once again, Europe is ahead in the Digital Television wars.
Cheers,
John Shutt
