The reality of cable television is far more complex than the bit of coaxial
cable attached to your set. Modern Cable Television Technology has over 800
pages that offer plenty of detail, but don’t require a PhD to comprehend. The
specifics are American but the principles are general, and cover voice and data
communications as well as TV. Recommended for the serious electronics buff. By
Walter Ciciora, James Farmer and David Large, published by Morgan Kaufmann, San
Francisco, £59.95/$79.95, ISBN 1558604162.
