combine their normal TV programme with information
or entertainment pages. On some pages, you can
respond to a programme or vote, do online shopping
or pay for a video-on-demand programme.
HbbTV
Broadcasters use various interactive TV systems e.g.,
HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV). Interactive
TV is sometimes referred to as Digital Text or Red
