The concept of AmigoTV brings these components together by offering the possibility of having a real time communication over your favourite TV broadcast content with your friends in a lean backward manner on television. In the next phase, personal content will be introduced, what will even enforce the appeal of this application. People can also express themselves by adapting and pushing the emotion of their avatar and by selecting and pushing rich media emoticons to the buddies’ screen. These emoticons can be image, video or audio based and can be personalised and adapted to the content of the broadcast at that moment.
