This is how Hybrid DTT works
Hybrid DTT is a type of Spanish DTT that integrates DTT and the Internet in the same place, providing an interactive TV experience such as that offered by LovesTV. Along with video and audio, the information necessary to access interactive content is also transmitted. This means that it allows access to additional content while watching DTT.
For example, you can watch content from TV channel websites from your TV, without leaving the channel. By tuning that DTT channel with Hybrid DTT, you are provided with access to extra content through the TV’s Internet connection.
Thus, you can also enjoy the on-demand television content (for example, by accessing the start of a live broadcast that has already started, or programmes that have aired in the last week) from the TV itself. This does not have to be done from the web. The same would apply to breaking news services, which could appear on the screen while watching a broadcast if the website for that channel was refreshed.
Another advantage is interactivity. Since the TV is connected to the Internet, you can interact with the TV channel and send information in real time. This way, you can participate in contests or surveys without stopping watching the content that is being broadcast.
In addition, thanks to Hybrid DTT you can have access to additional information about the content that is being broadcast. For example, if you are watching a film, you could access the trailer, outtakes or more information about each of the actors, while continuing to watch the development of the film.
