Pilot operation for digital terrestrial television and interactive MHP applacations
The voting results for all participating households were merged at the data processing center, and they could even be included in the show on the air in the case of live shows and events. This technically sophisticated and user-friendly method offers an attractive alternative to the current SMS-based and telephone voting processes used in successful viewer-participation shows such as ORF‘s „Starmania.“


Development cooperation between ORF and
Austrian IT experts

ORF was only able to meet the widely varied challenges encountered in the development, production and regular testing of TV JETZT content with the support of Austrian IT experts. In a close partnership with ORF, the MHP developers from the Styrian company BearingPoint and the software experts at PLOT made a decisive contribution to developing TV JETZT as well as constantly improving the portal over the four-month testing period in the !TV4GRAZ project. All return channel tests were implemented and optimized in cooperation with Siemens.
