Launch of Australian open | | The Australian DTV market has taken a big leap forward with a commitment to a single platform using open standards.
Australian free-to-air broadcasters ABC, Seven, Nine, Ten, SBS and the Regional Broadcasters of Australia have agreed that interactive set top boxes for the Australian market should be manufactured to support the MHP 1.0.2 standard as a minimum.
Importantly, the broadcasters will also ensure the new set-tops are forward compatible so that applications for first generation interactive boxes will also run on subsequent versions. |
