Abstract
Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) are becoming an increasingly important part of consumer electronics, especially with the introduction of digital television. We are seeing a revolution in the way televisions are utilized, but there are still stepping stones to be crossed on the road to a completely digital television system. Current DVRs work well and are rather user-friendly, but are especially lacking in that they do not allow easy access and sharing of the recordings stored on them. In order to acquire the user requirements for a system that would solve the issues of accessibility and sharability brief user interviews were arranged. Based on these requirements, we propose an architecture that solves these problems in a straightforward and easily implementable manner. Moreover, we propose how to implement this architecture.
