Don't waste your time or money with this book. A superficial treatment of a complex subject. Book is filled with technical inaccuracies.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time or money on this book!, December 1, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Televison Systems: Brave New TV (Paperback)
Like so many of the others, this author tries to explain a highly technical subject to non-technical folks and fails in the attempt. The book is filled with technical inaccuracies and leaves the non-technical reader scratching their head after reading a chapter. It's almost as if Ms. Van Tassel had this stuff explained to her by a technical person that either didn't want to take the time to do it right or didn't know the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent..ITV heralds Internet Broadcasting..., December 10, 1997
By 
This review is from: Advanced Televison Systems: Brave New TV (Paperback)
The information is very relevant to today's internet broadcasting market - server situations, and how advanced TV is forming the future of digital television or internet broadcasting. One of few - Joan's commentary is great. The diagrams are worth it - seeing how things are done in ATV that could be down with webcasting. Cheers to Joan Van Tassell.
