Rather than going on whining about receiver issues (at home in TJ, my b2c2 card
picks up San Diego DTV stations with about 15-21 SNR, but not the one in TJ; at
my mother's house, my b2c2 picks up the TJ DTV station with 15 db SNR, but not
the San Diego ones. The TJ station is less than 3 miles from my home; most of
the San Diego DTV stations are less than 5 miles clear line of sight from mom's
home.)
So, rather than whining, I would like to know from people who were there (this
is not a speculative issue);
Why, when the specs were adopted, there were no (and still are no):
ATSC reference bit streams;
ATSC receiver specifications (there are only recommendations now);
Exemplars of bad bit streams (I have recently acquired some "off the air" as
pertains to PSIP).
Was the issue anti-trust/restraint of trade? Or were there more nefarious
matters afoot? It seems to me that the current state amounts to a restraint of
trade just by itself.
