The development of social TV systems has gained momentum in the past decade. However, it is unclear how and why users use social TV. The goal of this systematic review is to identify trends in social TV user studies and understand how and why users use it following Geerts and De Grooff's social TV features. After searching for articles in major engineering and social science databases, we found 10 user studies that are mainly exploratory. They are predominantly qualitative and lack theory-based research and system design rationale. In general, users have positive reception on the usability and sociability of social TV systems despite expressing privacy concerns and insufficient control. Text chat is preferred than voice chat as a mode of communication. TV show genre and plot structures influence system usage. This review contributes to social TV research by offering a comprehensive understanding of social TV features that influence system usage.

“…The main findings are that 'the remote contestant' wants fast and simple interaction combined with smooth synchronisation. Almeida et al [1] created an application that "combines some social games characteristics with iTV features". Results showed participants are strongly motivated to continue using this type of application with their friends.…”

This paper identifies important requirements for second screen (game) companion apps. Participants were invited to create their own (board) game to play alongside a TV show. Afterwards they were interviewed about their experience. Analyses of the games and interviews lead to some valuable insights in what contributes to an engaging 'TV game'. Lessons learned include: using events on the TV show to influence the game, and striking the right balance between luck and skill elements.

Due to new interactive TV services, synchronizing the playout of content on different TVs is becoming important. To synchronize, knowledge of delay differences is needed. In this study, a measurement system is developed to gain insight into the magnitude of delay differences of different TV setups in an automated fashion. This paper shows the measurement system, which is validated for precision and accuracy. Preliminary measurements results show that regular TV broadcasts differ up to 6 seconds in playout moment and that web based TV broadcasts can introduce more than a minute delay. Furthermore, we measured a broadcasting before encoding and modulation, which resulted in a time about 4 second before the fastest receiver. On a side note, while developing the measurement system we found out that GPS timing on consumer Android devices was inaccurate, with fluctuations of up to 1 second.
