HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV) is a new broadcasting standard that enables super-teletext type services, delivered by a broadcast TV programme, to be integrated or linked to online services delivered over broadband to a connected Smart TV. Consumers are therefore able to access various online services such as catch-up TV, Video on Demand (VOD), programme related applications and other rich information services in addition to traditional digital teletext services, all directly on to the TV in a seamless experience. HbbTV services can be activated in a number of ways, the most popular being pressing thered icon . Users typically explore services with the traditional navigation keys (including the OK button and the red green yellow blue icon ). The current version of the HbbTV specification also includes support for “adaptive streaming” of video over a broadband connection thus guaranteeing the best possible image quality for the viewer. For more information about HbbTV, visit www.hbbtv.org.
