Bouquet ID

Definition

A “bouquet” allows a broadcaster to group a set of services across different transport streams, which themselves could even be located across different networks. A Bouquet_ID uniquely describes such a grouping for a given geographical region.

Bouquet_ID values are allocated to broadcasters and network operators to identify bouquets within the application area of the DVB-SI standard (EN 300 468), by insertion in the Bouquet_ID field.

Key fields

  • “Bouquet Name” – Name of the Bouquet (e.g. “ACME Pay-TV Service”)
  • “Bouquet Country Code” – Country code where the bouquet is unique (e.g. North America)
  • “Bouquet Operator” – Name of company which operates Bouquet (e.g. “ACME Pay-TV, Inc.”)
