We present the design and the basic features of variable symbol-rate demodulators for digital TV broadcasting by cable and satellite. The demodulators are fully compliant with the DVB recommendations which were later published as ETSI standards. The satellite demodulator employs the QPSK signal constellation and can handle symbol rates up to 30 Mbaud. The cable demodulator is configurable to operate with all QAM signal formats from 16-QAM to 256-QAM, and handles symbol rates up to 7 Mbaud which is the maximum possible symbol rate in an 8 MHz channel. Both demodulators employ polyphase filtering for variable symbol rate operation and fully-digital carrier recovery loops with an extended frequency acquisition range. In addition, the cable demodulator includes a blind equalizer with smooth transition to a conventional adaptation algorithm after convergence
