Objectives
The Digital TV Group (DTG) is the industry association for digital television in the UK and is independent and platform neutral.
The Council (Steering Board), consisting of a small number of key members representing all sides of the industry, holds regular meetings to guide DTG activities and decide the future strategy of the Group.
Formed in the mid 90s to facilitate the introduction of digital terrestrial TV in the UK, the group is now at the centre of UK digital TV development. It published and maintains the DTG 'D-Book' which sets out the detailed technical standards for digital terrestrial TV in the UK and runs the industry's test and conformance centre: DTG Testing. The DTG has ensured the delivery of a rich consumer experience, a vibrant and stable market, and helped position the UK as a world leader in the evolution of television.
The group is presently focused on emerging consumer devices and experiences including high definition TV (HD), Mobile TV, video-on-demand (VoD) and broadband TV (IPTV).
Work is carried out by key sub-groups, who may elect small task-groups of members to deal with specific issues.
