Abstract: A common problem in TV viewing is watching programs on a single TV set as only one program can be watched at a time. Streaming is continuous and real-time, causing interruptions and clash among viewers (who wish to view different channels at the same time) which ultimately ruins the viewing experience. Our system is a hardware unit (compatible with smart TV sets) supporting multiple features including: allowing simultaneous transmission of video streams (to network connected devices over a limited area network), with pause/play options, recording for a limited time duration. Our proposed system is aimed at making huge strides in the field of television viewership, offers meaningful convenience features to enrich viewers' experience, with minimal modification to presently used television systems, effectively utilising network connected devices (such as laptops, tablets, smartphones). Our efficient system saves money, time and supports features not currently offered by present day television sets.

Keywords: simultaneous video transmission; advanced TV system; limited area network TV; home environment television system; multi-viewer multi-program TV system.
