Some Useful Suggestions on TV Channel Setup and Distribution
By Lawrence J. Harte
This is a very short book that provides explanations and tips on how to setup a TV channel on satellite systems. It does provide a great deal of utile tips on how to choose content and gives a good deal of basic distribution choices along with costs. There are a great deal of grammatical issues and there are few technical explanations. Could gain from more TV channel business related information.

Good information, terribly written
By Michael Kilgore
First, this book is tiny. Only 77 pages, including 10 for the glossary. And those pages are only when it comes to 5.25 x 7.75 inches. Use Amazon's Look Inside feature to get a feel for the wide spacing on those pages. I've had more prominent user manuals.
Second, the writing and presentment are so bad that they are a big distraction. The initial word of the book is misspelled. The original illustration is a grainy screenshot with arrows childishly drawn in. It's hard to find a page not marked with typos and grammar that is awkward at best.
Third, the book is partly a advertising tool for the author's web site. There are repeated references to what the author may do to support startup stations, and a good deal of discussion of fees.
But down deep, there are signs of an author who might actually recognise how this actually works. He lays out what pieces are necessary for a satellite TV station as well as number of things from which only one can be chosen in cable, over-the-air, and internet broadcasting. He likewise includes ballpark price estimates for each of these pieces. And he even adds bits of wisdom, such as choosing a satellite that already has direct-to-home viewers so your new station will have a more prominent primary potential audience.
For the quality of presentation, this book is terribly overpriced. But if that info is worth the cash to you, it's available. Just be sure to use Look Inside so you'll recognise what you're getting.

Useful Information
By Terrence E. Warren
I found this book to be very utile and detailed. Though there was a lot of misspelled words, I still was capable to get the noesis I necessitated from it. I wish there were more books affiliated to starting a network and all the projects covered in this book. I am implementing a good deal of of the procedures as I write this.
