Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for enhancing a television viewing experience by a group of one or more users. The experience is enhanced by integrating services from a number of different sources. This integration of services aggregates cloud data, identifies content from the aggregated cloud data that is potentially of interest to the user, and distributes that content to a main display or one or more secondary computing devices associated with the one or more users in the group.
