The television industry is currently undergoing changes with historic proportions, posing tremendous challenges and opportunities. This is fuelled by the proliferation of new delivery channels to consumers, new capabilities of these channels to carry a multitude of data in addition to conventional video/audio programmes and the need to fill these channels with content. CustomTV is addressing the crucial problem of how, in the near future, viewers will be coping with the proliferation of TV channels as well as navigating through the masses of multimedia information that is likely to be broadcast, thanks to digital technology, alongside conventional TV programmes.
