Abstract
The promises of IPTV and related changes of the traditional TV environment are broadly discussed in the EuroiTV community. In this paper we present preliminary, qualitative results from a user evaluation conducted for an IPTV community platform focusing on usability and user experience issues. Our results show that major obstacles in the first phase of developing an IPTV community application are the usability of the system as well as the motivation of people to share personal audiovisual content.
