Digital television services

One of the greatest technical challenges of our time is digitalization. While this process has occurred and is almost complete in telecommunications, radio and television broadcasting and program production, the digitalization of broadcasting is a much more difficult task. The latter has a broader social dimension and can have a direct impact on people's lives, since receiving broadcasting in the new system requires the purchase of new equipment in part or in whole. At the same time, digital broadcasting offers many advantages, enables new, valuable services and multiplies the program offering. With the help of prominent experts in the field, the publication describes the most important technical solutions of digital television, program distribution /satellite television, cable television, terrestrial television broadcasting and certain forms of distribution operating on broadband telecommunications access/, the new service options of digital television and the decision-making situations related to them. The volume prepares the Hungarian introduction by publishing the successes, failures and experiences of countries ahead of us in digital television.
