    Default SBS - HbbTV

    When i switch to SBS, the HbbTV logo is highlighted.
    But what does it mean? How do i use it?

    Sorry, i'm a bit slow, it has probably been there for ages.
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

    I see Foxtel is advertising a similar feature on PayTV but of course it all depends on if your connected to the Internet, what Data allowance you have and how capable it is of being able to deliver the programming.
    Theres nothing worse than taking 2 hours to download a 30 minute program due to buffering.

    I did use this once on ABC to see an episode I missed of Doc Martin and it ran almost buffer free but because of the Data used, its not something I could afford to do too often.

    Where on screen is this logo appearing as I have looked at SBS1 and other than the normal corner watermark, there is nothing there or on the Info Bar with that logo, probably another feature only available to Metropolitan areas.

    Good pickup oceanboy. I knew it was coming but didn't know it was here already. Just tried it on SBS HD and it works. Press the red button and then red again. All the categories load up, when you select a category there is a large selection of movies, tv shows etc. When you select one, a 30 sec ad plays and then it times out with a message that this program is not available for viewing right now. So it seems like it's almost ready to go.

    The way things are going we are going to be spoilt for choice within the next year or so with HbbTV, iView, IPTV etc etc.
