Through HbbTV, you will be able to access new services from leading broadcasters, online services and application providers – including video on demand (VoD), interactive advertising, web applications, games and social networking as well as programme-related services such as digital text and EPGs.
The HbbTV services are provided and signaled to the receiver by the broadcasters. As soon as you tune to a channel, the receiver will identify the availability of the HbbTV service of the channel (if available) and will launch it through its built-in web browser. In most cases an icon is shown with a colour button that you can select on the remote control to launch the application. When the HbbTV service is launched, some buttons of the remote control will have a new functionality. Follow the instructions on the screen to navigate and operate the service accordingly. When you press EXIT on the remote control, you will leave the HbbTV service and return to you the full control of the receiver. The HbbTV services may be disabled, launched automatically or provide on-screen notification.
NOTE: HbbTV services rely on your Internet connection and therefore performance depends on the speed of your connection.
NOTE: Like any other Internet-based services and applications, HbbTV services are provided by third parties and therefore not fully under control from the receiver. Those services can be terminated at any time without any notice.
