Publisher's Synopsis
How digital television works, and how to get the most out of it. This book is pitched to a technically-oriented enthusiast. In accessible language, it also describes how to upgrade an existing home entertainment system to digital television, and describes the core technologies involved. It looks closely at the DVB and ATSC video protocols and how they are used in satellite, cable and over-the-air TV broadcasting. It provides enough detail for the computer hobbyist or home theatre specialist to get involved in building or modifying a digital video system of their own.
