Digital television, DVB-T COFDM and ATSC 8-VSB

Rating:
Summary: Good clear information
Review: A well thought out book. I'm not new to digital TV, and I found the explanations very clear and understandable - although certainly a little biased towards DVB-T rather than 8-VSB. I would say a good book for the beginner wanting to know more about the European standard. I did notice one or two small errors and would advise an errata sheet is included in the future

Rating:
Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: Although this book has some good explanations, charts and diagrams, the reader should beware that the book has some very serious errors in certain sections (particularly section 5). It would appear that the book was self-published, and probably did not undergo sufficient peer-review. This book should not be used as a primary reference.

Summary: Verygood
Review: An excellent book with well thought out explanations and diagrams. If you're interested in the technology and standards of digital TV transmission and its decoding this is the book to have. With DVB-T, ATSC, the transport packet format, MPEG-2, modulation, set-top-box architecture, audio standards, and much more explained, the 230 pages are packed with information. Highly recommended to both technical and marketing people involved with digital TV

Summary: Information content
Review: I found the book of great help in starting my career in the area of digital video. I have started a new job in the hardware design of set top boxes and found this book to give a clear description of the technology and operation of a set top box for both standard and high definition. Also the descriptions of COFDM for Europe and 8-VSB for the US is a good introduction for me on this difficult to get into area of electronics. Generally very useful information and very relavent contents for me.
