[edit] Should be renamed

The article should be renamed from DVB to Digital Video Broadcasting. This follows the naming conventions, and is easier to mouse-over when reading an article about digital transmission. Besides, it's in the logo. —Wikibarista 08:42, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Wikibarista and I made the move to Digital Video Broadcasting. I think that this change is appropriate based on the WP's naming conventions. To anyone who disagrees, I direct your attention to the Digital Audio Broadcasting article, which also opts to use full name rather than the acronym. Jeysaba (talk) 17:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What about MATV and MMDS (Microwave) systems?

How do master-antenna television (MATV) systems and those pay-TV networks that rely on MMDS techonology? Which DVB standards would cover those two? -Daniel Blanchette 00:52, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, found them. -Daniel Blanchette 00:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "See also" should include MPEG-2

Granted MPEG-2 already links here, but having read that entry it feels like we should return the courtesy. I am unfortunately not a good enough editor yet to try adding this myself. Will someone else? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shannock9 (talk • contribs) 13:02, 1 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Don't forget MPEG-4

The DVB article should be updated to include the fact that some of the countries that are adopting DVB are doing so using the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standard, and some broadcasters who are doing HD are also doing so using the MPEG-4, not MPEG-2, format. -Daniel Blanchette 04:42, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
