HbbTV allows the applications to be retrieved both from broadband or broadcast. The broadcaster
may enable both ways or one of them. If the platform does not have an operational broadband
connection, the platform can still launch applications transmitted on broadcast.
The autostart Red button applications generally provide links to other applications. The user then can
switch to other applications by using the links provided. The applications should provide a way to
terminate themselves, usually the
Exit
button is used for this.
HbbTV applications use keys on the remote control to interact with the user. When an
HbbTV application is launched, the control of some keys are owned by the application.
HbbTV requires AV streaming capability for the platform. There are numerous applications
providing VOD (video on demand) and catch-up TV services. The user can use play, pause, stop,
forward, and rewind keys on the remote control to interact with the AV content.
