Summary

Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is the name for a long list of innovative technical systems for television, radio and data broadcasting. In the world of consumer electronics the DVB systems are the most important developments worldwide. Services based on the DVB systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Even in the USA DVB systems are in operation.
