Collaborative Personalised TV Programming

We propose a set-top box design for giving the owner access to a number of TV channels adapted specifically to his/her interests. The channels are composed based on reviews distributed in RSS format. The reviews can originate from other users of similar devices as well as from other sources. The device trains an artificial neural network (Hertz et al., 1991) to prioritise the available programmes based on the available reviews and the feedback from the user. The proposal attempts to minimise the need for user interaction, as well as the need for centralised, critical services
