HbbTV seems to be the replacement for MHEG-5.
By the looks of it, HbbTV is the framework for the Freesat EPG / Freeview Play GUI, just like MHEG did the EPG beforehand.
It's insane how MHEG has been used for yonks for both EPG and teletext and has stood up until even now, though the BBC are barely hanging on to it. It seems quite versatile!
By any chance, do you know how the new Red Button GUI on Sky Q works? Is that going to be a similar HTML based system?
