HBBTV System
HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV)
is a new industry standard that seamlessly
combines TV services delivered via broadcast
with services delivered via broadband and also
enables access to Internet only services for
consumers using connected TVs and set-top
boxes. Services delivered through HbbTV
include traditional broadcast TV channels,
catch-up services, video-on-demand, EPG,
interactive advertising, personalisation, voting,
games, social networking and other multime-
dia applications.
HbbTV applications are available on channels
where they are signalled by the broadcaster
(currently various channels on Astra broadcast
HbbTV applications). The broadcaster marks
one application as “autostart” and this one is
started by the platform automatically. The
autostart applications are generally launched
with a small red button icon to notify the user
that there is an HbbTV application on that
channel (The shape and the location of the
red button depends on the application). The
red button is displayed for some and then may
disappear. The user then should press the red
button to open the application page. After the
page is displayed the user can go back to the
initial red button icon state by pressing the red
button again. The user can toggle between
the red button icon mode and full UI mode
of the application via pressing red button. It
should be noted that the red button switching
capability is provided by the application and
some application may behave differently.
Service with red button application (taken
from HbbTv specification)
If the user swicthes to another channel while
an HbbTv application is active (either in red
button icon mode or full UI mode), the fol-
lowing scenarios can occur.
- The application can continue running.
- The application can be terminated.
- The application can be terminated and an-
other autostart red button application
