Abstract: Momentum continues to build toward a U.S. field trial of a land-based digital network for broadcast television distribution and collection. There are two primary challenges to the trial: first, to be sure that the picture quality including the effects of real transmission impairments, such as errors and protection switching hits, will be acceptable to the television broadcasters; and second, to be sure that the networking controls are at least as good as today's satellite networks for collecting from and distributing to fixed locations. Both of these challenges are being faced and, with the continued good will of the numerous trial participants, the trial is moving forward. This paper reviews the trial status and the extremely flexible networking arrangements that are being pursued.
