This concerns OTA DTV audio dropouts, will this problem eventually get
fixed?
Currently, it seems that if the picture develops more than just a small
amount of artifacts, even if the picture is still in motion and is still
mostly discernable, the audio immediately drops out once the artifacts
start
to appear. (In that respect, analog broadcast seems much more robust in
the
audio aspect of the picture, in that even a snowy analog picture that was
still able to broadcast in color retained its audio, albeit with audible
noise within the audio.)
My own expectations are that the audio should only drop out when the
picture
actually freezes, before it recovers or when No Signal gets displayed.
Digital TV is supposed to be better picture (which it is, when a situation
that causes the display artifacts doesn't occur) and better sound (Dolby
Digital up to 5.1 channels) but I am also expecting better reliability
(i.e., less signal drift and less audio loss).
Further discussion is welcome.
