I'd like to know about the DVB-T standard, but I get confused when it
comes to configuring a DVB-T system for a Single Frequency Network
topology. I've read that normally for an 8MHz bandwidth using 2k mode
about 1700 carriers are possible. Does this translate to 1700
individual programs?

I think I can probably answer this question if I find a good tutorial
on COFDM. I've found some on Google, but I haven't found one that
explains simply how it is possible to have multiple carriers in a
single channel.

Thanks!
