What is ETV?

ETV stands for Enhanced Television. It is largely seen as a stop-gap solution for providing interactive television services. It is very similar to OCAP in the sense that it allows applications to be bound to an MPEG-2 stream and executed on an ETV-enabled device. However, the applications are not Java-based but EBIF-compliant. EBIF stands for Enhanced Binary Interchange Format. This standard was primarily developed for legacy set-top-boxes that do not have the capability to host an OCAP stack or run OCAP applications.
