Since the year 2007, Escuela Politécnica del Ejército has been carrying out lab and field tests to evaluate the performance of current digital television systems. ISDB-Tb is the Japanese with Brazilian modifications digital terrestrial television standard adopted by Ecuadorian Government, which is able to transmit multiple television programs with interactive applications and high definition contents. This paper details tests about generation, transmission and reception of data flow TS containing multimedia, audio, video and interactive applications, using free distribution tools.
