Abstract

Many digital TV (DTV) broadcasters inadvertently misconfigure their devices and transmit wrong information, which may cause incorrect receiver behavior. Moreover, the way those problems are usually introduced in DTV signals presents some randomness, which resembles fuzzing techniques. This scenario is addressed here, which led to a novel receiver robustness evaluation methodology based on non-compliance tests using grammar-based guided fuzzing. Experiments with such a scheme have shown its efficacy and provided opportunities to improve robustness regarding commercial DTV platforms.
