Results and outlook

12. Mobility

In tests of television reception in vehicles, the project showed quite impressively that mobile reception is an essential performance feature of digital terrestrial television which will make a considerable contribution to DVB-T‘s economic potential.

13. Set-top boxes

The field tests demonstrated the critical role of set-top boxes in the success of such a closed-end project concept.
Likewise, adherence to standards and specifications – which has been insufficient to date – among manufacturers was also revealed. A free market for set-top boxes will only be able to develop successfully if consumers can rely on the terminal devices to display the MHP services developed by IT companies and television providers without problems.
