you are sooo wrong. The 8 vsb problem  is now very well solved on the receiver 
side. I live in an RF cavern and can receive all local DTV signals with an 
Indoor antenna. My reception far exceeds analog on the same antenna.

  As for interlaced, again you must be smoking something as 720  P and 480 P are 
part of the spec and are part of what I watch daily.

  As for quality 1080i blows the ass off the competition. We were discussing 
this while I was on speaker phone with an ABC tech ( they are 720 P) he over 
heard our conversation and added the "yes our video sucks it is only 720P"
