MPEG stands for "Motion Picture Experts Group" and was founded in January 1988. This group is responsible for the numerous standards such as MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4 etc and has also given birth to a number of technologies we now take for granted like DVD and Digital TV.
And with the MPEG4 standard, the TV viewing experience is taken to another level. MPEG4 is compatible with all multimedia platforms and is designed to deliver DVD-quality video at lower data rates and smaller file sizes than MPEG2. This ability to compress data into smaller packets gives it the advantage of efficiency and accuracy over the standard MPEG2.

DVB stands for the "Digital Video Broadcasting organization". It was formed in September 1993 and now has over 300 members including broadcasters, manufacturers, network operators and regulatory bodies.
DVB-S is the original Digital Video Broadcasting forward error coding and modulation standard for satellite television, with DVB-S2 being the next generation Satellite Solution. DVB-S2 standards were developed in 2003. It is an enhanced specification that was created as next step to
DVB-S standards.
DVB-S2 not only has almost 30% greater efficiency than DVB-S, but it also offers higher scope for signal compression (which in turn gives a better quality picture) and is also inexpensive to implement. DVB-S2 is mainly used for HDTV distribution.
