Digital living TechniSat receivers for all of Europe Among their UK-wide DVB-S broadcast offerings over Freesat, the BBC and ITV transmit interactive multimedia background applications in the form of “Red Button services”, along with their TV programming. Interactive “Red Button” services more than just TV Besides the free programming, the latter services have been crucial to the success of the BBC and ITV’s Freesat package. So-called “Red Button services” accompany the Freesat channels (as well as the free terrestrial DTT channels) with interactive multimedia applications based on the promising MHEG 5 standard. The offerings range from an onscreen calculator to an interactive weather report with information automatically updated from a database. The viewer accesses the “Red Button” applications from selection lists and by entering easy numerical codes from the remote control. Multimedia artists HDFS allows use of digital photos, music and videos from USB drives, compact flash memory cards and an integrated computer network interface.

Besides Freesat capability, HDFS also uses a TechniSat operational mode that serves up further features and functions, such as reception of several orbit positions with a motor drive using DiSEqC. Sweden — a DTT trailblazer In 1999, Sweden was the first European nation to begin using digital terrestrial TV (DTT). As a result, Swedish analogue service was completely shut down between 2005 and 2007 – months before the original target date. While DTT was transmitted on the MPEG2 standard in Sweden also, technology and capacity improvements marched on. Last year this allowed a change to the MPEG4 standard, allowing even more channels and high-resolution HDTV to be broadcasted. TechniSat DiGYBOXX T4 VA So recently TechniSat introduced the DiGYBOXX T4 VA, a premium receiver for Scandinavia, which receives both ordinary TV (SD) as well as HDTV. The “VA” in DiGYBOXX T4 VA stands for the VIACCESS integrated decoding system, for which a smart-card reader is included. This way, the attractive receiver, with its fresh design, can receive both encrypted and unencrypted programs over an antenna. In contrast to Germany, most Swedish channels are encrypted pay services – even over digital satellite and over cable TV, which is common throughout the country. Licensed for Boxer With these performance characteristics, the DiGYBOXX T4 VA was also able to obtain Boxer licensing, which is important for Scandinavia. With about 700,000 subscribers, “Boxer TV-Access AB” is Sweden’s largest digital pay TV provider with a complete DTT network. Last year Boxer also received the contract to set up a comprehensive pay TV offering for the newest Danish DTT network, which has recently gone on the air. Since February 2009, digital terrestrial (DTT) pay TV channels have also been broadcasted there. In November, Boxer will broaden its offerings with six more broadcasters.
