Digital technology based consumer media devices have many desirable
features, including the ability to easily find and watch television
shows, and/or automatically record programs of interest. Disclosed is a
system and method for allowing a group of television viewers to share
program viewing information. This information, exchanged through various
on-line community modalities (including Internet chat rooms, email,
Internet Web Logs, and the like), can be used within a consumer media
device to influence the decision process concerning which programs to
record, buffer or view.
