In the course of recent years the DVB Project has very successfully de veloped a considerable list of specifications for Digital Video Broadc asting. As a matter of fact, the term Digital Video Broadcasting has even become too restricted, since DVB specifications can be used for broadcasting all kinds of data as well as of sound, accompanied by all kinds of auxiliary information. Some of the specifications aim at the installation of bi-directional communication channels, for example, u sing cable installations. Due to the considerable complexity of the DVB environment many differe nt documents have to be taken into consideration when planning service s or equipment. For those who have been deeply involved in the develop ment of the DVB solutions the list of documents may be comprehensible, but at least for newcomers it would be quite natural to overlook some of the existing specifications, guidelines, standards etc. It is the purpose of this paper to present an overview of the existing DVB documents. This overview should be regarded as a cookbook, list ing all the ingredients for a DVB meal. It does not serve the purpose of giving a detailed description of the contents of the documents prod uced by the DVB Project.
