- Interactive television standards are standards for television broadcasting that relate to different modes of interaction and feedback mechanisms. This interaction system is what creates the television experience. The advent of interactive television occurred in the 1980s with the introduction of Teletext in analogue television. This standard allowed limited interaction with television sets to obtain easily transferable information, such as show schedules and weather data. Today, the technology has developed to a point that allows for comparably more sizeable and complex communication. The early private broadcasters, such as Canal+, were the pioneers in adopting this new form and have continued to develop it over its lifetime. As a consequence of the switch from analogue format, the project known as Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) was developed, which created public television in digital format, in competition with private broadcasters. Among its new features was interactive menus, which (as in private broadcasting) gave information to the user and allowed them to adapt the product for their own needs. Today, this is known as interactive television. This interaction is possible due to Set-top-Boxes (STBs), television decoders that are able to receive a digital signal, decode it, and display it through an analogue television set. This device allows analogue users access to the same content as the digital television net. Running interactive programs is one of the STB's functions, among others. STBs are required to be dynamically programmed and updated, often done by an intermediary software that runs both the applications and the audiovisual signals simultaneously. This intermediary software is referred to as middleware. (en)
