Comments on: HDTV Comes To Argentina http://www.argentinepost.com/2008/11/hdtv-comes-to-argentina.html Information & Insight on Argentina Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:00:17 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: taos http://www.argentinepost.com/2008/11/hdtv-comes-to-argentina.html#comment-864 taos Wed, 12 Nov 2008 00:57:51 +0000 http://www.argentinepost.com/?p=488#comment-864 Haha, you're hilarious, Fernando. So if you were in a race of eight people, say, for example, in the 100M dash, you'd rather compare yourself with the guys who came in last than the ones who came in first, second or third? Argentina decided in 1998 to adopt ATSC, then De la Rua ordered a "review," which went nowhere, and now years later we're still waiting while the government again reviews the technology. Now, a decade after Menem first decided to go for ATSC, we're still on the fence. If that's not delaying this thing, I don't know what would be. You can call it propaganda if you'd like, but these are the facts. One of the reason progress is so scarce here is that successive governments keep undoing everything done by their predecessors. I don't know which system is better (the Japanese, the European or the American), but I'm pretty sure I could figure it out and make a decision in less than a decade!

Pure drivel, anti-government propaganda. Chile hasn't decided either. Uruguay Colombia and Brazil are the only three countries which have decided, and Uruguay did so only this year. Brazil started using ISDB-T last year. FC “The state’s eternal vacillation has only delayed deployment of HDTV services.”
