ALL DOA RIP Thanks to 8-VSB, Viacel Non starter because of 8-VSB.
Reasons, cost of receivers, no mobile or portable capability and to many
problems with fixed reception.
Only hope is for decent fixed reception with magic as yet to be produced
5th gen receivers.
Content has never been a problem. Technical aspects have been all.
