The authors describe an application for Digital TV open platforms (like Android or MHP-OCAP). The application gives the instantaneous tip to watch one of available channels. The TV platform shall be provided with this recommendation right at the moment of turning on the TV without any specific actions or efforts from the TV viewer side. The application forms the tip based only on analysis of previous activities of the TV user.

Usability of such application could be significantly improved if subject area’s specific is taken into account. The authors discuss the assumptions based on industry experience.

A trivial approach to implementation of this application is suggested for the case when EPG and detailed info on user could not be accessed.
