HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV) is a 

standard that seamlessly combines TV services 

delivered via broadcast with services delivered via 

broadband and also enables access to Internet only 

services for consumers using connected TVs and set-

top boxes. Services delivered through HbbTV include 

traditional broadcast TV channels, catch-up services, 

video-on-demand, EPG, interactive advertising, 

personalisation, voting, games, social networking and 

other multimedia applications. 
HbbTV applications are available on channels where 

they are signalled by the broadcaster (currently 

various channels on Astra broadcast HbbTV 

applications). The broadcaster marks one application 

as “autostart” and this one is started by the platform 

automatically. The applications are generally launched 

with a small red button icon to notify the user that 

there is an HbbTV application on that channel (The 

shape and the location of the red button depends on 

the application). The red button is displayed for some 

and then may disappear. The user then should press 

the red button to open the application page. After the 

page is displayed the user can go back to the initial 

red button icon state by pressing the red button again. 

The user can toggle between the red button icon mode 

and full UI mode of the application via pressing red 

button. It should be noted that the red button switching 

capability is provided by the application and some 

application may behave differently.

Figure x: Service with red button application (taken 

from HbbTV specification)
If you switch to another channel while an HbbTV 

application is active (either in red button icon mode 

or full UI mode), the following scenarios can occur.
• The application can continue running.
• The application can be terminated.
• The application can be terminated and another 

autostart red button application can be launched.      

HbbTv allows the applications to be retrieved both 

from broadband or broadcast. The broadcaster may 

enable both ways or one of them. If the platfrom does 

not have an operational broadband connection, the 

platform can still launch applications transmitted on 

broadcast. 
The autostart red button applications generally provide 

links to other applications. An example of this is shown 

below. The user then can switch to other applications 

by using the links provided. The applications should 

provide a way to terminate themselves, usually 

Exit 

button is used for this.

Figure b: EPG application, broadcast video is shown 

on the left bottom, can be terminated by pressing 0. 
HbbTv applications use keys on the remote control to 

interact with the user. When an HbbTv applications is 

launched, the control of some keys are owned by the 

application. For example, numeric channel selection 

may not work on a teletext application where the 

numbers indicate teletext pages. 
HbbTv requires AV streaming capability for the 

platform. There are numerous applications providing 

VOD (video on demand) and catch-up TV services. 

The user can use play, pause, stop, forward, and 

rewind keys on the remote control to interact with 

the AV content

Ensure that the firewalls of your network allows the 

TV wireless connection. If the wireless network does 

not function properly, try using the wired network in 

your home. Refer to the 

Wired Connection section 

for more information on the process.
If the Net TV does not function, check the modem 

(router) first. If the router does not have a problem, 

check the internet connection of your modem.
Try searching for wireless networks again, using the 

Network Settings menu screen.
• The transmission speed differs depending on the 

distance and number of obstructions between the 

transmission products, the confi guration of these 

products, the radio wave conditions, the line traffic, 

and the products that you use. The transmission 

may also be cut off or get disconnected depending 

on the radio wave conditions DECT phones, or any 

other WiFi 11b appliances. The standard values of 

the transmission speed are the theoretical maximum 

values for the wireless standards. They are not the 

actual speeds of data transmission.

• Wireless LAN feature supports 802.11 a,b,g & n 

type modems. It is highly recommended that you 

should use IEEE 802.11n communication protocol 

in order to avoid any possible problems while 

watching videos.

• You must change your modem’s SSID when there 

are any other modems around with the same SSID. 

You can encounter connection problems otherwise. 

Use wired connection instead if you experience 

problems with wireless connection.

See the instruction book of your wireless modem to get 

information on the internal service area, connection 

speed, signal quality and other settings. You need to 

have a high speed connection for your modem.

You could try the following in such a case:
Keep at least three meters distance from microwave 

ovens, mobile telephones, bluetooth devices or any 

other Wi-Fi compatible devices. Try changing the 

active channel on the WLAN router.

Your TV is capable of finding and updating automatically 

via the Aerial/Cable/Satellite(depends on the model) 

signal or over the Internet. 

Simply navigate on your main menu. Choose 

Settings 

and select 

Other Settings menu. In Other Settings 

menu navigate on to the 

Software for Upgrade item and 

press

Note : Internet connection is needed. If an internet 

connection is not available, try to upgrade via 

broadcast. If a new upgrade is found, it starts to 

download the upgrade. Press 

OK to continue with 

the reboot operation.

While the TV is connected to an aerial signal. If 

Automatic scanning in the Upgrade Options menu 

is enabled, the TV wakes up at 03:00 and searches 

broadcast channels for new software upgrades. If 

new software is found and downloaded successfully, 

the next time the TV powers up , it will have the new 

software version.

Please note that ghosting may occur while displaying 

a persistent image (still or paused image). LCD TVs’ 

image persistence may disappear after a short time. 

Try turning off the TV for a while. To avoid this, do not 

leave the screen in still picture mode for extended 

periods.

If your TV has no power, please check the power cord 

plug is connect to the mains power socket.

5. Please retune the channels. 
6. The picture quality may degrade when two devices 

are connected to the TV at the same time. In such a 

case, disconnect one of the devices.

1. No Picture means that your TV is not receiving a 

transmission. Have you selected the correct button on 

the remote control? Try once more. Also make sure 

the correct input source has been selected.
2. Is the aerial connected properly? 
3. Are the plugs connected tightly to the aerial socket?
4. Is the aerial cable damaged?

1. If you cannot select an input source, it is possible 

that no device is connected.
2. Check the AV cables and connections if you have 

tried to connect a device.

To  record  a  programme,  you  should  first  connect 

a USB disk to your TV while the TV is switched 

off. You should then switch on the TV to enable 

recording feature. Otherwise, recording feature will 

not be available. If you cannot perform recording, try 

switching off the TV and then re-inserting the USB
device while the TV is switched off.

If “

USB disk writing speed too slow to record” 

message is displayed on the screen while starting a 

recording, try restarting the recording. If you still get 

the same error, it is possible that your USB disk does 

not meet the speed requirements. Try connecting 

another USB disk.

Check if the ethernet cable is connected properly.
Check if the Network settings are correct.
If the MAC address (a unique identifier number) of 

your PC or modem has been permanently registered, 

it is possible that your TV might not connect to 

the internet. In such a case, the MAC address is 

authenticated each time when you connect to the 

internet. This is a precaution against unauthorized 

access.  Since your TV has its own MAC address, 

your internet service provider cannot validate the MAC 

address of your TV.  For this reason, your TV cannot 

connect to the internet. Contact your internet service 

provider and request information on how to connect 

a different device, such as your TV, to the internet.
It is also possible that the connection may not be 

available due to a firewall problem. If you think 

this causes your problem, contact your internet 

service provider. A firewall might be the reason of a 

connectivity and discovery problem while using the TV 

in DLNA mode or while browsing via DLNA.

Ensure that you have already logged on to your PC 

with an authorized username/password and also 

ensure that your domain is active, prior to sharing 

any files in your DLNA server program on your PC. If 

the domain is invalid, this might cause problems while 

browsing files in DLNA mode.

This is not a malfunction. This happens when the 

cabinet slightly expands or contracts according to the 

changes in the ambient temperature. This does not 

affect the TV’s performance.

Check if the pairing is made properly.
