So my question remains today, as it did nearly nine years ago now - will
8VSB support the communications needs of our citizens when they need it
most. If I can not receive 8VSB today, with a newest generation not so
miracle chip, when I live only 20 miles from the transmitters, what will
happen on a worst possible day, when people are hiding in their basements?
I had to hide in my basement when a tornado passed within 1 mile of my
house, and my wife and I watched the progress of the tornado on my local
news station, seeing the radar, using a battery capable TV set, using its
built in whip antenna. We got an acceptable analog picture, even in the
basement.
