This paper presents work in progress and deals with the challenges and difficulties researchers are facing doing television audience research in the age of convergence. I give a short overview of different dimensions within television audience research, based on how television is defined, and how these dimensions are evolving in the age of digitization and convergence. Next, I discuss three practical complications I encountered while doing empirical research into contemporary television viewing practices: the challenge of taking all dimensions of television into account, the challenge of doing ethnographic research and the challenge of selecting a proper sample for television audience research.

The main goal of the ADOPT-DTV project is to understand what are the most significant factors for the adoption of digital TV by the Portuguese population in the switchover context. On the 26th of April 2012, the analogue terrestrial television switchoff is planned to occur in Portugal, according to the schedule published by the national telecommunication regulator Anacom. Digital terrestrial TV was launched in the country in April 2009, turning Portugal into one of the countries with the most ambitious schedule - or risky, depending on the perspective - for the full transition from analogue to digital terrestrial television. We will start by presenting the objectives, theoretical framework and research design of the ADOPT-DTV project. Next, we will present the first results of the project focused on the barriers and drivers for the adoption of digital TV from two of the empirical studies which integrate it, namely, the quantitative inquiry applied to a representative sample of the Portuguese population and interviews with the main stakeholders in the digital TV area in Portugal. The perspectives of the television viewers are compared with other main stakeholders in this process. A brief discussion of these results and a brief enumeration of the next steps for the project will conclude this paper.

Standard remote controls are the most important interface to handle and control TV and media center systems for home entertainment. While the controlling device is being used as something statically, most providers now realize the flexibility of an interface on the software level at the controlled device. Such straightforward approaches reach their limits, when complex functionalities are to be handled remotely. Managing the media library, converting media items or entering text are examples of such enhanced options. In order to handle such complexity we experimented with smart remotes. In a first case study we explored the use of digital pen & paper as a personalizable control device with enhanced text input capability. A prototype called p-Remote (personal remote) was implemented. The evaluation showed us that the users appreciate the possibility of being able to personalize the remote control interfaces, as they fully understand their own interfaces and they can have specific interfaces for different scenarios. The evaluation also showed that the p-Remote provides the user with a fast access and intuitive usage. By discussing the results, we will also point out several issues from which we have derived implications for designing smart remote control concepts in further work.

Films are by excellence the form of art that exploits our affective, perceptual and intellectual activity. Technological developments and the trends for media convergence are turning video into a dominant and pervasive medium and online video is becoming a growing entertainment activity on the web and iTV. The improvement of new techniques for gathering emotional information about videos, both through content analysis or user implicit feedback through user physiological signals, is revealing an unfolding of new ways for exploring emotional information in videos, films or TV series, and brings out new perspectives to personalize user information. We present iFelt - an interactive web video application to classify, access, explore and visualize movies based on their emotional characteristics. In this work, we explore the design and evaluate different ways to access, browse and visualize movies and their contents.

Authoring tools for hypermedia languages usually provide visual abstractions, which hide the source code from the author aiming to simplify and accelerate the development process. Among other drawbacks, these abstractions modify or even break the communication process between the author and the language designer, since these languages were designed to be readable and understandable by its target audience. This paper presents a textual approach to hypermedia authoring that does not have these inconveniences, but rather uses typographical accessories, such as program visualization, hypertextual navigation, and semi-automatic error correction. The proposed approach exploits concepts known to the author and does not imply in extra cognitive overload. A use case is presented, namely the NCL Eclipse authoring environment, for Nested Context Language, the Brazilian Digital TV and ITU-T standard.

In this paper, we describe an approach and the translation of the outcomes of our market overview on the technical development that we implemented for the FascinatE project. The approach combines market insights and competitive intelligence with technical insights to define the position of the FascinatE project in todays and future markets. The outcomes consist of an extensive market description, gaps, trends such as shift of technology and roles of market players. The information is presented by using a heat map, technology radar and a value chain overview. This information is used to adjust the direction of the technology development in the FascinatE project.

This paper addresses the problem of unsupervised TV program structuring. Program structuring allows to improve browsing and interaction with TV programs. Our work addresses the structuring of recurrent TV programs like entertainment programs, shows, magazines... It relies on the automatic detection of separators in programs using a repeated sequence detection method that is applied over a set of episodes of the same TV program. Separators are short sequences that are inserted between different parts of a program and that are repeated between and/or within the episodes of the same program. The effectiveness of the approach has been evaluated over 54 episodes of daily TV programs.

We investigate the use of a mobile device to provide multifunc-tional input and output for a stereoscopic 3D television (TV) display. Through a number of example applications, we demonstrate how a combination of gestural and haptic input (touch and pressure) can be successfully deployed to allow the user to navigate a complex information space (multimedia and TV content), while at the same time visual and haptic (thermal and vibrotactile) feedback can be used to provide additional information to the user enriching the experience. Finally, we discuss our future work exploring the potential of this idea to allow multi-device and multimodal browsing of 3D TV and multimedia.

Television has been a medium commonly used by enterprises to promote their values, products, services and offers. TV advertising can be expensive, affordable only to enterprises with a substantial budget for promotion. That leaves a great number of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) out of the TV advertising business. In contrast, the Internet has presented SMEs with some interesting tools and services that help them advertise more easily on the web. TV's current development leads to a broadband connected and more interactive environment. Which leads us to the question: can Digital TV offer elements similar to the Internet, that help SMEs in the process of creating and running an advertising campaign? This paper looks at tools and services on the Internet, that suit SMEs advertising needs and limitations and then focuses on similar elements among emerging services and applications made for Digital TV. The focus remains on three key elements: ACCOUNTABILITY, ADDRESSABILITY and PRODUCTION.
