Question Bert: did you ever receive an answer to your
questioning as to why the new Samsung receiver, which clearly
works very well, is in such short supply (store only allowed
three per order)? Clearly 8VSB can't work well and could be
dead, if the good hardware is not made available in anywhere
near the volumes required to put a dent in the reception
problems.
No, but then again I only spoke to the salesman. He was annoyed, obviiously
because he was missing out on some potential sales.
It seems that the 3-unit inventory is a chain-wide edict for Circuit City.
It continues to really astound me that the sort of good, low cost hardware
that would be likely to get people to try out DTT has been kept squirreled
away by some unknown group of GBs (greedy bas_____), for the past couple of
years or more. And even now, these same GBs are keeping it in short supply.
From the comments of those just getting into DTT, it looks like OTA
broadcasters are wise to keep their HDTV of high quality. And it looks like
if OTA broadcasters play their cards right, they can indeed gain viewership
with this transition. Pulling in some cable and DBS subscribers. Something
they couldn't do with OTA NTSC.
March 1, 2007 is upon us. Maybe some new doors are opening, if only just a
crack.
