IP over DVB

IP over DVB implies that

transport stream, or the datagrams may be carried in the DVB baseband frames directly, as in GSE

.

Application examples

Data broadcast (

datacast

), for example a data carousel sending programme information and media over and over again.

IP multicast, for sending media efficiently to a limited group of subscribing users, using only the transmitter towers where users for the moment are situated.
interactive TV
services

- Mobile broadband internet access to cellular phones including a
  mobile TV receiver, for example a DVB-H
  receiver.
