Abstract
In analogue television we can find auxiliary information being broadcasted parallel to video and audio components. This information is in many cases connected to the actual programme and mostly transmitted via the teletext-mechanism. Teletext offers a preview of future events in the programme and other information like news or weather forecasts. This feature had to be retained by the digital TV system and possibly be enhanced to fit the increased need for data transmission. But over and above Teletext DVB now provides the means for a large variety of data services like software download, reception of Internet services or interactive TV.
