Abstract

This paper introduces the Terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting DVB-T, stating its innovative aspects and its major advantages for data broadcasting, particularly TV broadcasting. It also presents the experimental DVB-T network built up by Retevisión in the framework of the Spanish VIDITER project (Terrestrial Digital Video) and the European ACTS VALIDATE (Verification and launch of Integrated Digital Advanced Television in Europe) and ACTS MOTIVATE projects (Mobile Television and Innovative Receivers). The experience and some of the results of the different tests carried out by Retevisión are afterwards discussed.
