This document applies to consumer solutions whose primary function is to receive digital television, such as integrated digital televisions, set top boxes, digital television recorders and equivalent products and devices (see Annex D). All these solutions are referred to as digital television solutions throughout this document. The standard does not cover solutions that support digital television as a secondary function (for instance gaming consoles or computers with digital receiver cards). However, much of the content also provides for future solutions and/or implementations.This document does not cover delivery, unpacking, secure installation on a stand or wall mounting or first time connection of the power and signals.
