If every broadcast engineer and manager in every Digital TV market had a Digital TV receiver, much could be learned about reception, picture and sound quality and synchronization, ease of tuning and operation, and program guide configuration. Feedback from these engineers would help to reduce anxiety and, of course, provide more viewers for the Digital TV stations. Otherwise viewers will be confused, frustrated and may refuse to become involved. Just waiting makes things worse. Get several Digital TV receivers, conduct your own tests and let the receiver manufacturers know of your observations and concerns.
Nothing gets a manufacturer's attention faster than a consumer complaint or returned merchandise.
Further testing of the FCC reaffirmed 8-VSB will show if improvements to reception equipment will resolve remaining issues and if Digital TV transmission system improvements can achieve even better performance. All Rights Reserved.
