Deprecated Specifications

In February 2019, and again November 2021, the DVB Steering Board approved the deprecation of several DVB specifications whether because they had been superseded by another specification; had become obsolete and were thus no longer needed; or had never been implemented.

While the documents listed below are still published by and available from ETSI, they have been removed from the main specification library on the DVB website.
