According to one configuration, a wireless station monitors for presence of wireless communications transmitted in a subscriber domain (monitored region) to identify which of one or more communication devices assigned to the subscriber domain are present in the monitored region. In response to detecting presence of a particular communication device, a mapping resource maps an identity of the communication device and/or corresponding user of communication device to configuration settings (such as a personalized content guide) assigned to the corresponding user of the communication device. The playback device displays the personalized content guide and corresponding control options on a display screen of the playback device to the user. The user then operates a remote control device (which is separate from the communication device) to control selection of options in the displayed personalized content guide of the user.
