Abstract :
Current society manifests a growing interest in the penetration of new information technologies to the daily citizens life. Although there are still a few problems to solve, it seems that the most efficient way to arrive to the users is through a set-top box terminal (STB) connected to a conventional or digital TV set. This paper analyzes these penetration problems that current solutions represent and introduces a new STB approach that adapts to the user profile
