Abstract
The growing demand of interactive Digital TeleVision (iDTV) is huge, given its potential ability to provide highly personalized services and to access the Web. However these advantages can be missed by difficulties of using it, especially accessibility barriers. This paper analyses interactive digital TV accessibility in a technical level, considering web accessibility context. In addition, it identifies sources of good practices and lessons learned that can improve the accessibility of the applications for the iDTV.
