scope:
This ETS specifies the data formats for data broadcasting applications in general, and, specifically, for the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) or TV Guide, also known by some other commercial slogans. The data required for these applications is transmitted by means of a data broadcasting protocol using the Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) lines of a TV signal. It is also intended to coexist with other data-broadcasting applications running on affordable TV-sets, VCRs, or multi-media PCs.
