Support in HbbTV
Available since: HbbTV 1.0 (ETSI TS 102 796 V1.1.1, OIPF DAE V1.1)
Access to the currentChannel property by broadcast-independent applications shall return null.
If an OITF has indicated support for extended tuner control (i.e. by giving value true to element <extendedAVControl> as specified in section 9.3.6 in its capability description), the OITF SHALL support the following additional properties and methods on the video/broadcast object.
The functionality as described in this section is subject to the security model of section 10.1.3.8.
Note the property onChannelScan and methods startScan and stopScan have been moved to section 7.13.9.
