Bert, Let me walk you through it: If the US Switched to DVB-T, then all of those boxes made today for sale in Australia could be easily modified to work in the US 6 MHz bandwidth and frequency spacing. Europe uses 8 MHz and Australia uses 7 MHz, so all DVB-T chipsets sold today worldwide are 6-7-8 MHz capable. Only the RF front end needs to be tweaked for the appropriate bandwidth. (And I recall one company that actually did make a "worldwide box" that had all three front ends included.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Manfredi, Albert E" <albert.e.manfredi@xxxxxxxxxx> > I am baffled by the implication, yours and others, that > somehow DVB-T would change this state of affairs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
