           The most common abbreviations used in the
                    standards for digital TV:
                    MPEG2, DVB and ATSC
The introduction of the transmission of compressed TV signals to MPEG2 and DVB for cable,
satellite and terrestrial (COFDM) lead to the creation of many abbreviations that have to be
explained to the "uninitiated". In the previous three lines, three abbreviations whose meanings are
not obvious have already been mentioned. A table explaining what these abbreviations mean is
therefore essential.
