DNS Lookup for locating HbbTV IP applications
hbbtvdns.org hosts DNS records for broadcasters providing HbbTV Applications who want to enable application discovery in situations where the over-the-air AIT is not available to receivers.
Registrations are only accepted from verified TV broadcasters, and will link their broadcast services to their Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Full technical details are provided in TS 103 464 Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV, Application Discovery over Broadband
