Fantastic intermediate intro to subject,
This is a very well written book on digital TV for the intermediate student or reader. It steers a middle way between the more technical or professional level TV books, such as the well known Whitaker volume published by McGraw Hill, and the more basic books such as The Dummies guides. For me, it was just right since the more advanced books were a bit too hard for me yet, but the simpler books were too basic.
The book is especially passionate on the digital compression issues, and the chapter on middleware and operating systems is really exceptional, a subject that often isn’t addressed as completely in some additional volumes. The second to the last chapter provides a nice summary of the main features and differences between satellite, terrestrial announce, and cable digital TV.
It’s still a honestly technical book, though, and you must already have some basic knowledge of what digital TV is and how the three main types, which are terrestrial, satellite, and cable-based digital TV, differ from each additional. Obviously, here are many similarities, but they differ most in the use of different signal modulation techniques and the nature and extent of the error correction in order to best make use of the available bandwidth.
For example, obviously satellite and announce TV are most susceptible to multipath interference and additional types of noise, hence the signal to noise ratio of these technologies is decrease than cable. Cable has a much better signal (25 to 30 db instead of perhaps 6 db), and yet suffers from internal echoes due to impedance mismatches along the long segments of cable. This implies that announce and satellite TV need more robust and extensive error correction, which is right. But, satellite may reach areas too remote for predictable cable.
The book also has several chapters production with the more technical aspects of compression, error correction, etc., for those who are interested. Overall, an brilliant brief book (less than 300 pages), and it’s also nicely bound on excellent quality paper in signatures so that the binding will hold up better over time and the pages won’t fall out.

|OK, but nothing new.,
Exciting title. Grabs your attention, because it’s the way of the future, but reads much like an overview, and doesn’t grant much by way of new insight.
Brilliant as a reference source. The book is honestly inexpensive, so it is worth the money. If you buy it, you won’t feel cheated.
