DVB-T is more COFDM than QAM ;) Our american friends tend to abuse some technical terms beyond recognition. They say "HDTV" when they mean ATSC-Terrestrial, and they say "QAM" when they actually mean OpenCable. So when someone refers to "QAM" these days, you cannot be sure they actually mean Quadrature Amplitude Modulation anymore... :( Regards, -- Robert Schlabbach e-mail: robert_s@xxxxxxx Berlin, Germany
