Hi All,

As the acting Chief of an NBC affiliate, I get the calls when listeners
have problems making their DTV receivers and converter boxes work. Over
time, most of the problems I have found were related to ATSC's greatest
weakness, Multipath.

Since I thought high school broadcast engineering for 28 years, I found
that anyone can understand even the most complex concepts if it was put
in a way they could relate. Toward that end, I have written a simple
explanation of why DTV is difficult for some to receive it well and
reliably. I have found that when people understand the challenge, they
find ways to cope with it better and have more success.

In the past, I have tried to attach articles to this forum with no
success, so this time I am only including a download link to the "Word"
document. Click on it and you should be able to download it. If you wish
to use it on a web page, please do so and it is OK to delete the author
information. Getting the information out is what's important.

The link is: http://www.2xpi.org/downloads/Understanding Digital TV
Reception Problems.doc
<http://www.2xpi.org/downloads/Understanding%20Digital%20TV%20Reception%
20Problems.doc> 

I put it on a personal web site that I use once in a while to babble on
about weird physics phenomena that I observe from time to time.
