Network Based Applications
Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV or “HbbTV”, is a major new pan-European initiative aimed at
harmonising the broadcast and broadband delivery of entertainment to the end consumer through
connected TVs and set-top boxes.
Through the adoption of HbbTV, consumers will be able to access new services from entertainment
providers such as broadcasters, online providers and CE manufacturers – including catch-up TV, video
on demand (VoD), interactive advertising, personalisation, voting, games and social networking as well
as programme related services such as digital text and EPGs.
The hybrid terminal has the capability to connect to 2 networks in parallel. On the one side it can be
connected to a broadcast DVB network(e.g. DTB-T, DVB-S or DVB-C). With this broadcast connection
the hybrid terminal can receive standard broadcast A/V, application data and application signaling
information. Even if the terminal is not connected to broadband, its connection to the broadcast network
allows it to receive broadcast-related applications. In addition, signaling of stream events to an
application is possible via the broadcast network.
General HbbTV functions such as EPG, Video on demand and Teletext.
