It's a long read, but apparently DTV tuners aren't making the grade.

If you notice they are tsting for NON-tv use of adjacent frequencies. Personally I think this should make it clear that such use should be limited or not allowed at all.

What are the non TV uses of adjacent frequencies. For whatever reason I can't open the full article.

Instead of Full Article, it had a link to the Full Report which takes a little time to open/download from:

The conclusion was bad for our newest TV sets (with my underlining):
"The FCC Office of Engineering and Technology released a report March 30 showing that none of DTV receivers tested to determine their ability to reject interference from proposed TV-band devices using so-called TV white-band channels and other sources "appeared to fully achieve the ATSC recommended guidelines for interference rejection performance."
