Conclusions
> despite the multiplatform offer TV remains a central part of the daily routines;
> there is a partial "disenchantment" with the current models of EPG;
> the family context is still important when deciding what to watch together;
> friends and family hints are more relevant than highlights in menus or EPG;
> viewing footprint is a relevant factor for TV recommendation systems;
> mobile devices are mainly used for searching for detailed information about TV programs and socializing;
> the cognitive process (selection of TV content) is mainly supported in: TV genre, mood, companion and available time.
