In this paper, we present a design and implementation of a TV-Anytime compliant STB to provide personalized content consumption according to user preferences and various terminal/network conditions. This paper mainly details with a metadata engine which consists of meta data de-multiplexing, metadata decoding, and metadata-based content browsing. For personalized content consumption, the proposed metadata engine provides the following key functionalities: advanced EPG, non-linear segment navigation wirh Tables-of-Content and/or event-based summary, automatic recommendation of user-preferred programs, and etc. The implemented STB employing the metadata engine is successfully tested with a set of service scenarios in an end-to-end broadcasting test-bed.
