The DVB-I specification defines ways in which devices and displays connected to the internet can discover and access sets of audiovisual media services. These can include services delivered online through fixed and wireless [[Internet Protocol]] connections as well as [[Broadcasting|broadcast]] [[radio]] and [[television]] channels received over [[radio frequency]] networks using traditional [[Cable television|cable]], [[Satellite television|satellite]], or [[Terrestrial television|terrestrial]] transmissions.

Tests and pilots of DVB-I services have been undertaken in several countries including Iran, Germany, Italy, Spain and Ireland.<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 October 2024 |title=DVB-I Deployments |url=https://dvb-i.tv/deployments/ |website=DVB-I}}</ref>
