Digital Television at Home: Satellite, Cable and Over-the-Air

I bought this book for a friend who bought a new HD TV and became interested in how and why digital broadcasting works the way it does. He is a techno-nerd, so I would suggest this book only if you have a good basic understanding of electronics. He said it was the best book he could have gotten to begin his exploration of the subject. I would highly recommend this for someone who has a lively curiousity about digital broadcasting and wants to introduce it properly into the home.

Don't know what I got but this was so full of typos I couldn't trust the information. Aggrivating, finally just recycled it!

I made the switch. Bite me Comcast! I went satellite!!I did not know what I was getting into, but I knew that I was going to switch to satellite. From what research I did on my own as well as experienced opinions of personal friends, I knew that it was probably the better option for our home. I purchased the book "Digital Television blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah the-Air" hoping for an upbeat introduction to the new technology and maybe some tips on useful accessories etc.Blah.The book totally does not hold my attention.Dudek is probably still a teacher somewhere at a trade school or maybe even a college. His students may find this book handy as a study guide, but it is not a consumer oriented book. Dedek may be an unmatched expert at this stuff, but the book reads like a study guide for a course that is completed in one semester.
