The TechnoTrend Connect S2-3600 is a small HDTV receiver the size of a cigarette pack that connects to a computer via USB. It has an easy plug-and-play setup and comes with software for watching TV and accessing electronic program guides. Testing showed it can receive HDTV channels flawlessly provided the computer has a powerful enough processor. While it lacks common interface slots, it provides a good free-to-air HDTV alternative to conventional set top boxes.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
