Technical

VuTV utilises the MHEG-5 international standard for interactive television services as specified in the D-Book published by the Digital TV Group. Specifically, it relies on the MHEG Interaction Channel (MHEG-IC) for the delivery of applications, data and video content via IP. The video streams are encoded using H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, audio is encoded using Advanced Audio Coding and these are delivered encapsulated in an MPEG transport stream. Given the premium nature of the content, all channels are encrypted.
