This paper describes the personal video recorder-based approach to realise enhanced services for interactive programmes on digital television. So far it is very difficult that most of interactive programmes included the vast quantities of contents, whatsoever it is data-broadcasting or HD-ready, are broadcasted on digital television via the current set-top box. Furthermore it was not possible to envisage until IPTV has been appeared. Even though IPTV makes possible for streaming the interactive services via high-speed broadband, it is not easy to receive the tremendous contents with interactivity through the current set-top box in a single effort. In this paper it suggests the effective solution to resolve the download dilemma for providing the interactive services on digital television by employing the set-top box fitted with the personal video recorder.
