Isn't it a shame that the fix was in when ATSC was locked as 8VSB, instead 
of the much easier to receive while mobile COFDM... which would have cost
broadcasters more because it's average transmit power is higher?

So anything that costs broadcasters more to do to serve mobile users, I'm
fine with, as long as they don't try to charge us for it.
