red button. It should be noted that the red
button switching capability is provided by
the application and some application may
behave differently.
If you switch to another channel while an
HbbTV application is active (either in red
button icon mode or full UI mode), the
following scenarios can occur.
•
The application can continue running.
•
The application can be terminated.
•
The application can be terminated and
another autostart red button application
can be launched.
HbbTV allows the applications to be
retrieved both from broadband or broadcast.
The broadcaster may enable both ways or
one of them. If the platfrom 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.
An example of this is shown below. The user
then can switch to other applications by using
the links provided. The applications should
provide a way to terminate themselves,
usually
Exit
button is used for this.

HbbTV applications use keys on the remote
control to interact with the user. When an
HbbTV appli
cation is launch
ed, the control
of some keys are owned by the application.
For example, numeric channel selection may
not work on a teletext application where the
numbers indicate teletext pages.
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.
NOTE:
You can enable or disable this feature
from the More menu in System>Settings
menu.
