An earlier post asked for help getting into HbbTV but I didn't manage to do it. I have now managed it 
- more by hit & miss than good management! I carried out the following steps (OpenVix):
1. MENU > PLUGINS > GREEN (= download plugins)
2. I expanded EXTENSIONS and searched for anything mentioning "HbbTV" and installed; I installed "HbbTV Plugin" and I may have installed a second one in the list mentioning "HbbTV". At this stage I did NOT get it working!
3. Later, I did two more (hit & miss) things: (a) In "OpenWebif" under PLUGINS, I changed "Playback IPTV streams in browser to YES and pressed GREEN (= save), which probably did nothing and then (b) installed "Open Webif Terminal" which caused the STB to freeze immediately after installation! After switching OFF and then ON, the STB was working again & I was able to make HbbTV work - see example below:
4(a) An example is BB-MV-LokalTV on Astra1 19.2°E (DVB-S2 11552H 22000 2/3 8PSK) which is identified on the opening screen as "Lokal-TV-Portal".
(b) The key step is to press BLUE (= extensions) which brings up a "Please choose an extension..." menu from which I chose "HbbTV Applications" and pressed OK, which brought up a "Please choose an HbbTV application." menu with a single choice "Lokal-TV-Portal HD" and I pressed OK. This allowed me to select the sources "Bayern, Berlin, Brandenburg, etc." and move to other menus and watch HbbTV. Exciting but perhaps less so if you have no German.
Final (separate) point: as a consequence of the need to switch off the STB and reboot, my Favourites [or User-bouquets (TV)] listings were blanked. To the original "Favourites (TV)" and "Last Scanned", I had added others (English, German, French, Turkish) using E-Channelizer and filled them manually using the STB's menus. Unfortunately my choices survive Standby but do NOT survive a reboot. Can anyone advise me on making these choices permanent?
