1. A circuit for recovering a plurality of data elements encoded in a television signal channel at an encoding frequency, said circuit comprising: an analog to digital converter (ADC) over sampling said television signal channel at a over-sampling frequency to generate a plurality of over sampled samples, wherein said over-sampling frequency is higher than said encoding frequency; a clock and data recovery circuit examining said plurality of over sampled samples to select a subset of said plurality of over sampled samples, said subset being generated at said encoding frequency; a memory storing said subset of said plurality of over sampled samples; and an equalizer processing said subset stored in said memory to generate said plurality of data elements by performing a deghosting task.
