In the communication company a large number at households orders higher) plants over a well equipped complete PC with comprehensive medium equipment such as TV-maps, fast, efficient diagram maps and Dolby Surround 5,1 (or. It is appropriate near to be e.g. used the advantages of these devices also in the medium range as the digital television more strongly since the borders disappear to the entertainment electronics ever more. Such Multimediaanlagen periods their existence often no more in the home office, but is the center of the modern living room.
Standard software points some lack out, which became conscious by the media the population. More efficient software is wished; some user would like to improve software actively. The interest in open SOURCE software increases in such a way and is no longer only one sphere of interest of a small group. The advantages are obvious: Open SOURCE software costs often nothing, always is by the spreading and the advancement on the most current conditions and loads for trying out in: In the Internet find interested an abundance in information.
On the other side the customer is not satisfied with the service range of software often. Modern requirements require for personally cut software. A solution for this is the concept ³ of the computer families.
A software core, which contains the basic functions, is adapted modular to the requirements and extended in such a way by various functions.
An example for this is the multiplicity at tax declaration software for different groups of users. That saves not only time in the face of rising achievement pressure of more briefly becoming product life cycles, since the modules can be used continuously again and modular are developed further, but also on economic side saves the consistent re-use development costs and serves above all the customer satisfaction.
These trends are trend-setting due to their development for the software production.
Therefore they are to be located connected with one another in the center of this thesis (diploma).

This work concentrates on that brought together modern software requirements with the advantages of digital television. In addition to the appropriate domains by Live CDs, digital television and computer families one introduces.
Major task is it to analyze and evaluate concepts of the computer family development along the software development process. But different representative concepts are systematically examined and their pro and cons are described.
As example in addition the configuration customized liveCD with the open SOURCE software of a VDR is presented, analyzed and to unite to Plugins and suggested changes in the sense software of the Reengineerings. These demo CD in a study by Melanie Schöppe and Martin Rulsch⁴ prototypically one created; it offers a Web-based menu for the selection of specific Plugins and starts the VDRSoftware configured after customer requirements.
These liveCD Ilmenau boats leaves itself and to implement in the computer laboratory DOES.
For the practical example to DO Ilmenau by Dr. - engineer Detlef Streitferdt developed FORE - model for the structuring by customer requirements used.
