Abstract

In a peer-to-peer multi-media communication network (10), a system for controlling a broadcast viewing experience of one user by another user. Each user has access to a user workstation (12) including at least an input device (20) and a display device (16). The second user's workstation (12) includes a storage device (30) for storing at least user input for controlling a display (60) on a display device (16) coupled to the second user workstation (12). The first user workstation (12) includes a dynamic display controller (34), responsive to an input device (20) on the first user workstation (12), for receiving input (40) from the first user workstation (12) and for transmitting (44) the user input to at least the second user workstation (12). The user input (44, 45) received by the second user workstation (12) controls the display (60) on the second user workstation display device (16).
