DTG publishes a new edition of D-Book


The DTG has released D-Book 12, the organisation’s latest update to the technical specification for all digital terrestrial television products and services in the UK market.

D-Book 12.7 supports the current DTT platform, updated following the closure of the UK’s only Single Frequency Network, COM7, on channel 55 and further revising the receiver profiles in Chapter 22 to reflect the HD HbbTV baseline for all UK receivers.

Simon Fell, Chairman, DTG, said, “We’re delighted to continue delivering the only technical standard universally deployed in UK televisions. The D-Book represents a great example how an industry can unite and work together to produce one specification that provides viewers a reliable, resilient, and seamless experience. It is crucial in a fragmented market like today.

“As the UK faces economic challenges and strained home finances, digital television remains an essential part of society for education, news and even companionship. It is critical that, as an industry, we protect it.”

DTG Working Groups produces the D-Book. The DTG Working Groups produce the D-Book in support of the consumer electronics industry by ensuring device compatibility throughout the product’s lifecycle. Freeview Play, Freesat TV, BT TV Now, TalkTalk TV, and YouView are all based on this critical set of technical specifications.
