I just posted pictures and description of the Samsung/Rohde-Schward Demo I saw at NAB2006: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=7647247&#post7647247 Claudia Kienzl at TV Technology was very skeptical re E-VSB finding a viable marketing strategy: http://www.tvtechnology.com/features/news/2006.04.24-n_E_VSB_in_search.shtml Esp given competition from DVB-H, COFDM et.al. for the mobile/handheld market... [Insert Bob Miller's usual rant here...] Other than announcements that there was an "A-VSB" demo at the DTV Hotspot, I haven't been able to Google ANYTHING on this ANYWHERE....

Speaking of E-8VS(B), did anyone catch Samsung/Rhode-Schwarz's presentation of A-VSB at the DTV Hotspot? A month before the NAB, someone from Rhode-Schwarz gave a presentation on it for our SBE chapter, and swore us to secrecy until NAB. I've only read one short blurb in the trades about it since, and no analysis of it by informed engineer-types. I can conclude that interesting as it may be, it is also DOA?
