Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] atsc receiver error rate: 5.19e-05

As a side note, if you want to keep the program in HD you can burn the 
MPEG program on a standard red-laser DVD and play them with this DVD 
player:

You'll have to burn it as a DL disc, but 8 MB would fit.  You can also 
encode it to WMV-HD or DiVX-HD to make the program much smaller.

This is all kind of stop-gap until we get HD-DVD and/or Blu-Ray.  But it 
is sweet to play HD content off a DVD.
