LMAO! Especially at the comment, "These converter boxes must be consumer 
friendly and most importantly they must work well. Otherwise, consumers are 
likely to reject them. The trick will be to put a high quality receiver in a 
low cost, consumer friendly product."

NAB/ATSC/MSTV/FCC etc. had the opportunity to enable low-cost consumer-friendly 
DTT receivers back in 2000. They passed on that, just as American consumers 
will pass on trying to resolve DTT reception headaches. 5th gen, 6th gen, 12th 
gen...it makes little difference. Neither the laws of physics nor the laws of 
economics will relax themselves to assist a poorly designed broadband wireless 
communication system.
