What is iTV?
With interactive TV, some digital broadcasters combine their
normal TV programme with information or entertainment pages.
On some pages, you can respond to a programme or vote, do
online shopping or pay for a video-on-demand programme.
HbbTV, MHEG, MHP, DTVi, . . .
Broadcasters use various interactive TV systems : HbbTV (Hybrid
Broadcast Broadband TV) or iTV (Interactive TV - MHEG).
Interactive TV is sometimes referred to as Digital Text or Red
button. But each system is distinct.
