Smart TV Users and Interfaces: Who’s in Control? 

Ramon Lobato, Alexa Scarlata, Bruno Schivinski | International Communication Journal  

As smart TVs are flooding the market and increasingly replacing traditional non-connected TVs, very little is known about how smart TVs are used once they were bought.  

Based on the case study of Australia, the authors examined the usage habits of smart TV owners, in particular the agency people have in relation to smart TV apps and interfaces. This study shows how unevenly the ability to customise a smart TV is across society and brings up how these findings could impact the current policy debates about prominence regulation.
