HbbTV is a pan-European standard for interactive television applications that allows broadcasters to combine broadcast TV and broadband delivered content. It uses HTML and JavaScript for application development, making it easier than previous standards. HbbTV applications can be launched from broadcast signals or manually, access broadcast and online content, and control DVB functionality through extensions. It supports features like electronic program guides, digital video recording, digital rights management, and digital text.
