Re: [media-and-entertainment] Channels 2.0 (#107)

Thanks Adam, and sorry for taking so long to reply. Some of this would seem to fall in scope of existing TV industry specifications such as DVB-I or ATSC, which are channel-oriented, moreso possibly than W3C.

I haven't done a full analysis though between the use cases you're describing and what's currently specified, e.g., whether there's a concept similar to sub-channels already in TV standards, or how DVB Companion Screens and Streams (CSS, not to be confused with W3C CSS!) might be used for the multi-device interoperability you describe.

Also related is this DVB study: https://dvb.org/news/dvb-seeks-input-on-object-based-media/

Some things I expect can be built today in interactive TV applications, e.g, the news, sports, and surveys use cases just by building using standards such as HTML and ECMAScript.

The data tracks and hyperlinks and hotspots examples sounds like they could be supported using [Media Timed Events](https://www.w3.org/TR/media-timed-events/). Related work is MPEG [ISO/IEC 23001-15 Carriage of web resources in ISOBMFF](https://www.iso.org/standard/75492.html).

As an aside, this gave me the idea that could also be interesting to look at how some of these use cases could be supported in ActivityPub based video sites such as PeerTube. For example, [PeerTube's documentation](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api/activitypub) describes the extensions they've made to ActivityPub.
