1.0 out of 5 stars My First Dissapointing Dummies Book, 19 April 2008
By Mr. G. Bond "Geoff in Hove" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is aimed at the US user - and to be fair it states this in the book - not much use if you have already bought the book!! Much of the information relates to US specific equipment and to US TV transmission systems.

There is some useful information in the book but this relates very much to the basics of HDTV and setting up a set - the sort of stuff that is easy to find out.

I feel that this book should not be on sale in the UK or Europe. If you want to find out how to get all your bits of kit to talk to each other look elsewhere.
