A concerted, cross-industry effort has led the ATSC to publish DTV receiver performance guidelines. A/74, "Recommended Practice: Receiver Performance Guidelines," is the result of a collaboration of broadcasters, consumer electronics manufacturers, semiconductor manufacturers and other ATSC members.

The Advanced Television Systems Committee has given its approval to a set of guidelines to be used for determining transport stream conformance. The "ATSC Recommended Practice: Transport Stream Verification" (A/78) is designed to help broadcasters and equipment manufacturers ensure conformity with stream parameters an

A draft of the guidelines is expected early next year.

The Recommended Practice provides guidelines for implementation of received signal quality indicators for use by consumers.
