The project
In this part of the project, special emphasis was placed on the additional digital interactive services broadcast along with !TV4GRAZ‘s programming content. For each show, an MHP portal in the broadcaster‘s individual design of-
fered numerous interactive functions. An electronic program guide (EPG) was developed as an independent MHP product and provided viewers with an overview of the content broadcast on the four channels at all times.
These MHP applications were conceived by the television broadcasters and mainly programmed in the development departments at BearingPoint, Siemens AG Österreich,
Sony NetServices and PLOT.

Data transmitted via the return channels was handled by a data processing center set up at Siemens AG Österreich and then forwarded to the specific addressees (portal and application providers).
In this way, the cycle of interaction in digital television was completed for the first time in Austria.
