DVB-H

[edit] Ads

The TI site link, isn't it a sort of quite explicit advertisement? Cantalamessa 17:54, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

More links have been added, and they are ads. I am thinking to remove them. Please discuss. Cantalamessa 23:05, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I do not think listing the companies that have DVB-H products is an ad in any real way. This is useful information for anyone who wants additional information beyond the theory, and has many precedents in other pages (see e.g. the listing of H.264 hardware implementations in H264).

You are right, there are ads even on other wiki articles. In my opinion, that is wrong. Especially when the ad-like statement glorifies some quality of that product (not in this case, anyway). Cantalamessa 08:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DVB-H+

I read the sources provided at the DVB-H+ entry and came to these conclusions:

  1. There is nothing called DVB-H+. Nobody calls it like that. If it is to be reffered to than always only as DVB-H in S-Band.
  2. The described system is being promoted by Alcatel and its aim is to expand DVB-H to S-Band (more specifically 2170-2200MHz) for both terrestrial and satellite mobile TV broadcasting.
  3. It's not an official DVB standard although at the moment there is a Study Mission (basically a group asked to look into a technical feasibility of such a system) called DVB-SSP (Satellite Services to Portable Devices) headed by someone from Alcatel
  4. the first satellite is planned to be launched around Christmas 2009 (and not in year 2008 as stated) i.e. 2 years after availability of terrestrial transmitters which are expected around Christmas 2007
  5. planned satellite will cover only Western Europe with spot beams aimed at UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy

Please change the entry accordingly to reflect provided comments or I'll do it in about 2 weeks. Thank you. 19:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I see you have found better infos and are more expert than me. So I think it's better that you edit the article and not me. If you haven't time to do, please tell me your sources and I'll try to do this following your suggestions.
About the name DVB-H+: I found it in a document from Italian Communication Authority (http://www.agcom.it/provv/c_p_DVB-H/Sintesi_c_p_DVB-H.pdf), I think they found this name in somewhere technical document but I can't be sure. Armando82 10:50, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't have more information than the one from the links at the entry. I just read all of them (well, I guess I must have missed the one with "DVB-H+" name in it :-). In a couple of days I'll try fix the wording, find more sources and expand the entry a little. 24.80.38.70 18:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phone pictures

I think it would be a good idea to upload pictures of some DVB-h phones. I have two DVB-h phones because I am a trialist, I could upload some amateur pictures also. Please let me know
