document: Living the TV revolution : unite MHP to the web or face IDTV irrelevance ! The union of Interactive Digital TV ( IDTV ) and Web promotes the development of new interactive multimedia services , enjoyable while watching TV even on the new handheld digital TV receivers . Yet , several design constraints complicate the deployment of this new pattern of services . Indeed , for a suitable presentation on a TV set , Web contents must be structured in such a way that they can be effectively displayed on TV screens via low-end Set Top Boxes ( STBs ) . Moreover , usable interfaces for IDTV platforms are needed which ensure a smooth access to contents . Our claim is that the distribution of Web contents over the IDTV broadcast channels may bring IDTV to a new life . A failure of this attempt may put IDTV on a progressive track towards irrelevance . We propose a system for the distribution of Web contents towards IDTV under the Digital Video Broadcasting - Multimedia Home Platform ( DVB-MHP ) standard . Our system is able to automatically transcode Web contents and ensure a proper visualization on IDTV . The system is endowed with a client application which permits to easily browse contents on the TV via a remote control . Real assessments have confirmed the effectiveness for such an automatic online service able to reconfigure Web contents for an appropriate distribution and presentation on IDTV .
