Both reports are fascinating, John, but I of course
disagree with your conclusion.
The reports are fascinating because they were essentially
on the right track. The fact that it took this long to
get a good 8-VSB receiver for indoor use, and that there
are mysterious reasons that keep it from going into
production, is what we should be asking. Saying that
nothing changed in 6 years is just plain wrong. We didn't
know how to make the indoor plug and play 8-VSB tuner in
1999. Someone at LG, and I suspect Micronas too, does
know today.
Regardless, things certainly had not changed much by
2001 and 2002, when the NAB still strongly endorsed 8-VSB
and helped the FCC "stay the course." So that's a mystery
almost as intriguing as the LG supertuner mystery.
