John;
You continue to think that TV has something to do with the first half of
your sentence. It doesn't: not to PBS, not to your station, not to anybody
in the whole world.
In the U.S., the sticking point is: broadcasters didn't pay for their
bandwidth, and it's unfair for them to compete with wireless companies, who
did pay (in most cases) for their bandwidth.
At least with the above matters, there is a little room for political
dickering. Yet, DVB proponents want to argue these points as technology:
they're clueless.
Everything else from the DVB-in-the-US crowd is simply a non-starter.

John,
You continue to confuse the inability to justify an entire infrastructure
based solely on portable and mobile viewing with a system designed for fixed
in-home viewing that has the ability to serve portable and mobile users with
little or no added cost.
NTSC does that today.
DVB-T can do it today.
ATSC? Oh yeah, there's no market to justify modifying the standard and
sacrificing oodles of bits for it.
