Jiří Malina
Director of New Media, Czech Radio

According to a survey we conducted in preparation for the HbbTV project, tens of thousands of our listeners regularly listen to Czech Radio via television every month. We are pleased to be able to develop the distribution of our broadcasts in those places where listeners are clearly interested. For example, around 5% of listeners listen to the BBC in the UK via TV.

More detailed information

Traditional television broadcasting is delivered to viewers through a network of terrestrial or satellite television transmitters. The channel is unidirectional, and the viewer has no control over what the broadcaster offers. He can only switch channels.

Even though the vast majority of today’s television broadcasting is digital, the range of features or services that would complement broadcasting is not large. The most common include teletext, which adds informational content to television broadcasts, and the more or less widespread programme guide, known as EPG.

High-speed Internet, its truly mass availability and, above all, the possibility of two-way communication with the viewer, has dramatically expanded the range of services that can be offered to viewers with television and, by extension, multimedia content. The viewer has thus gone from being a mere observer to being an active participant, not only watching the content but also actively intervening in its transmission and, where appropriate, using a wide range of other advertising, sales, or information services provided in parallel.

Collectively referred to by the abbreviation IPTV, i.e., Television over the Internet, they usually distribute programmes of public or commercial television channels, supplemented by additional modern internet services, such as programme recording, time-shifting, and the possibility to respond immediately to advertising messages. IPTV principles are also used by most companies in their inhouse TV or video conferencing systems.

HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV) is a technology used to integrate television broadcasting and the internet to provide viewers with a richer and more interactive viewing experience.

It combines TV broadcasting and internet content to create a single interactive environment. HbbTV allows viewers to access enhanced content and services through their TV sets provided they feature the HbbTV function.

HbbTV is available through applications or interactive sites that are provided alongside TV broadcasts. These apps and sites can be accessed via the red button on the remote control or via the HbbTV menu of the TV set. Viewers can interact with content, select shows from the archive, access online videos, display additional information, or purchase goods via commercial applications.

HbbTV is based on open web standards such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which allows developers to create interactive applications and pages for the HbbTV environment. Today, the HbbTV standard is supported by the vast majority of TV set and set-top box manufacturers around the world and is widely used in Europe as the standard for interactive TV services.

HbbTV brings a number of benefits to viewers, TV stations, as well as content providers. Viewers get access to enhanced content such as additional information, multimedia links, or interactive games, all through their TV sets. TV stations and content providers can use HbbTV to deliver targeted advertising, increase viewer engagement, and enhance their content with interactive elements.
