I have been accused of not supporting with facts. Untrue. But I will now
offer some facts.
This article written in 2000 about S. America and in particular
Argentina. Argentina like Taiwan and Australia INITIALLY chose 8-VSB and
then reversed its position. Argentina picked 8-VSB in 1998 and changed
its mind in 2000.

"Internationally, these developments have shattered the commercial
prospects for ATSC/8VSB. Argentina, originally an ATSC adopter, canceled
the decision in April 2000 and now joins the COFDM camp. Brazil, having
thrown out 8VSB, is now choosing between DVB-T and the upstart prototype
ISDB-T system - essentially a Japanese DVB-T copy with some added bells
and whistles. In South America there is a DTV certainty: the future is
COFDM."
You would not know this if you read the PR from the ATSC dated JULY 7th
2004. They still claim Argentina.

"The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the major
elements of the ATSC DTV Standard in December 1996. Since then, the ATSC
DTV Standard has been adopted by the governments of Canada (November
1997), South Korea (November 1997), and Argentina (October 1998)."
Probably just a typo. A recurring one over the last four years.
So much for "just the facts, Ma'am".
