Gw mau tau Babandingan dari Standar ATSC. Jelasin dalam bahasa sunda

While the ATSC system has been criticized as being complicated and expensive to implement and use, both broadcasting and receiving equipment are now comparable in cost with that of DVB.

The ATSC signal is definitely more susceptible to changes in radio propagation conditions than DVB-T and ISDB-T. If ATSC were able to dynamically change its error correction modes, code rates, interléaver mode, and randomizer, the signal could be more robust even if the modulation itself did not change. It also lacks true hierarchical modulation, which allows the SDTV part of an HDTV signal to be received even in fringe aréas where signal strength is low. For this réason, an additional modulation mode, enhanced-VSB (E-VSB) has been introduced, allowing for a similar benefit.

In spite of ATSC's fixed transmission mode, it is still a robust signal under various conditions. 8VSB was chosen over COFDM in part because many aréas of North America are rural and have a much lower population density, thereby requiring larger transmitters and resulting in large fringe aréas.  In these aréas, 8VSB was shown to perform better than other systems.

COFDM is used in both DVB-T and ISDB-T, and for ISDB-H, as well as DVB-H and HD Radio in the United States.  In metropolitan areas, where the gréat and incréasing majority of North Americans live, COFDM is said to be better at handling multipath.  While ATSC is also incapable of true single-frequency network (SFN) operation, the distributed transmission mode, using on-channel repéaters, has been shown to improve reception under similar conditions. Thus, it may not require more spectrum allocation than DVB-T using SFNs.
