Talk:CEA-909

Areas for improvement in this article
This Wikipedia reader wants to know two things:
 * 1) Is CEA-909 a "dead" standard, or are manufacturers actually going to bring some new models to market?
 * 2) How is CEA-909-B an improvement over CEA-909-A? 71.221.121.26 (talk) 15:33, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Some answers:

B is an improvement in that A used a separate control cable (ie 2 cables to antenna) whereas with B the signal is muxed onto the antenna line (like with sat antenna controllers).

Is it dead? 909-A: Well from my Canadian point of view, the only 2 "A" products were cancelled before they were ever officially sold on Canada. So "A" was still born.

909-B: More than unique... I don't think a single commercial model was ever produced. Even the company that developed the standard www.antennasdirect.com does not seem to sell one. (Read about "unique advances in the art of smart antennas for DTV" here www.nabfastroad.org/Reports/NAB_Final_Report_Rev_Public2.pdf.)

(You'll never see a product with the "A" printed on it. The "A" was added, when "B" was introduced (ie the "A" came after the standard was obsoleted)).

A bigger, better question is: Is ATSC a "dead" standard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.245.236.60 (talk) 01:49, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
