.TSV File Extension

A TSV file stores a data table in which columns of data are separated by tabs. It can be imported into most spreadsheet programs, which format the data into cells. TSV files can also be exported by spreadsheet programs, which allows the data to be viewed with a basic text editor or word processing program.

TSV files are commonly used for exchanging data between databases. It is an alternative format to .CSV, which is another popular format for exporting spreadsheet data. CSV files use commas to separate columns of data instead of tabs.

A TSV file contains a recording of a television program and is created by various digital TV or satellite receivers, such as Tiger I555 and Freeview. It stores video in the Advanced Video Coding (AVC) format, audio in the MPEG-1 format, and text in the Teletext subtitle format.

TSV files are created by a digital satellite receiver to store a television program set to be recorded by a user. The program can then be played back by the user. TSV files are encrypted by the digital satellite receiver and are not supported by any other program.
