Introduction

Digital television offers unprecedented possibilities to deliver television programs and associated stereophonic sound and data channels to the home with quality that is very close to that of the original studio program. As recently as the beginning of this decade it was widely accepted that the emission of such programs would require very high bandwidths, especially in the case of high definition television, and for that reason broadcasting engineers were basing their future plans on delivery media where large bandwidths were more readily available, such as satellite and cable systems.
