The standards can be obtained for free at the ETSI website after registration.
How the several DVB sub-standards interact is described in the DVB Cookbook (DVB-Cook).
The core standards of DVB are DVB-S ( satellite television and satellite internet), DVB-C ( cable) and DVB-T ( terrestrial), which are all based upon MPEG-2 (DVB-MPEG) for audio and video coding as well as the transport stream and are capable of high definition television (HDTV) as well. Upcoming is DVB-H for mobile reception in cellular phone frequency bands.
These flavors differ mainly in the modulations used, which is a required due to different bands. The high frequency DVB-S uses QPSK, lower hertz DVB-C uses QAM (64-QAM in general) and DVB-T (in VHF and/or UHF band) uses COFDM.

Italy will completely convert its terrestrial analog broadcasts to DVB-T by 2006.
Besides audio and video transmission, DVB also defines data connections (DVB-DATA) with return channels DVB-RC* for several media ( DECT, GSM, PSTN/ ISDN etc.) and protocolos (DVB-IPI: Internet Protocol, DVB-NPI: network protocol independent). This is for example used for interactive interfaces like Multimedia Home Platform (DVB-MHP) and Electronic Program Guide s (EPG).
Legacy technologies like teletext (DVB-TXT) and VBI (DVB-VBI) are also supported to ease conversion. However for many applications more advanced alternatives like DVB-SUB for sub-titling are available. The features are described with Service Information (DVB-SI).
