Many of the correspondents are very knowledgeable and willingly share their vast storehouse of knowledge, but like any body of people, there always are a few who tend to emulate that part of the antinomy which one tends to sit on. Some even speak as if that's where their vocal cords were located. I'm sure there are those who have counted me as one who has done a fine job of developing this trait, but that doesn't seem to stop any of us. That all aside, I have been following, with a great deal of interest, the concerns of several who are of the opinion that we, the American broadcast industry, have made a very serious and grievous error in selecting 8VSB as our method of modulation. If that is true, the time is now, not in the future when most of the country has made the switch, to take what ever corrective action that may be necessary.
Several questions come to mind.
You don know how I wished I had an answer to those questions. Any changes won't arrest, but will seriously push back, the migration from analog to digital by a significant amount of time. As you know, these technologies are only possible in the digital world of television. One thing for sure, we don't what to embark on a change only to find out that we need to change horses a second time in midstream. That could all but kill the industry.
