17th Plugfest<\/h1>\n
\n

Europe’s central interop event for hybrid TV technology.<\/h3>\n

The annual Plugfest of the German TV Platform (DTVP) and the Digital Television Group (DTG) is Europe’s densest test hub for the hybrid TV and streaming world. Device manufacturers, broadcasters, platform operators, and research institutions test under one roof what otherwise only goes wrong in reality.<\/p>\n

Two events at the same location over five days: the Plugfest by DTVP and DTG (Mon\u2013Wed, October 12\u201314) and the HbbTV Testing Event by the HbbTV Association (Wed\u2013Fri, October 14\u201316).<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n \n
