The VHF's Return after UHF (was Re: CH 40 Analog was shut downSun nite)

[Dan.Strassberg]

I think the worst part of the over-the-air system is that the audio is
almost always the first part of the content that drops out. You can
usually follow the content without the picture but you can rarely do
so without the audio. The audio stream is not robust enough. A larger
percentage of the bits in the audio stream should have been devoted to
error correction. I have several times lost the audio for more than a
minute while the video was completely unimpaired. No doubt, some
people will say that that situation cannot happen. It has happened to
me more than once. The system was not designed to be robust enough and
it was obviously not adequately tested.
