Since mobile devices are battery powered, several mobile TV standards dictate using energy saving schemes to increase the viewing time on mobile devices. The most common scheme for saving energy is to make the base station broadcast the video data of a TV channel in bursts with a bit rate much higher than the encoding rate of the video stream, which enables mobile devices to turn off their radi...

Like companies strategically using social networking services (SNS) competitively, TV broadcasters have tried to adopt audience opinion synchronously (AOS) using SNS in their broadcasting content. However, few studies have investigated the effect of AOS characteristics on audience reactions. This study used the theory of justice to empirically validate the effect of AOS adoption on such element...

This paper aims to examine the impacts of new technologies, especially of the digital TV, on the industry of terrestrial TV in selected countries. Taking the evolution of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as a background scenario, the transformations provoked by digitization of TV on the following aspects are analyzed: (i) the market structure of terrestrial TV (or free-to-air T...

This paper treats the problem of digital TV terrestrial broadcasting in presence of co-channel interference from analogue TV services. The channel capacity is calculated for the optimum distribution of the transmitted power. An OFDM scheme is presented which is designed to be robust to the analogue TV interference. Power and number of bits per symbol are assigned to each OFDM channel to give th...

The paper anticipates that the actions to be taken concerning the Digital Switchover (transition form analogue to digital broadcasting – DSO) in UHF are of strategic importance for the European Member Countries and most candidate ones, as long as DSO arises as a possible and complementary solution towards the deployment of Broadband Access Infrastructures, especially in less favoured regions. T...

To provide subscription-based Digital TV (DTV) data, services providers scramble the data stream (program content) with some secure measures such as ECM and EMM via using control words, and send the stream to conditional access system (CAS) in the set-top box (STB). Smart card is used to decrypt the control words and accordingly to enable the STB to descramble the scrambled signal. Therefore, s...

The paper presents a procedure for annual programme and production planning, which ensures timely, realistic and comprehensive broadcasting planning and the planning of TV programme production for public TV services. The procedure relates tasks which are performed in various main business processes, and as a result they provide coordinated broadcasting and production plans within a defi ned bud...
