Abstract: An in-line digital cable television adapter and method for receiving and converting digital television signals to an analog format for display on an analog television set. Dual-capable video decryption and decoding is availab le to support a television, VCR, and a picture-in-picture independently and simultaneously. Dual-BTSC audio and video frequency modulators are available for output. A bypass switch selectively switches between television channels for modulation and for passing an analog supplied television signal directly to the analog television set. An infrared transceiver integrated with the digital cable adapter receives infrared frequencies from a compatible infrar ed remote control and stimulates input to a target infrared receiver.

Abstract: A television system is provided which includes a video cassette recorder (10) (VCR) and a broadcast data receiver (8) (BDR) for receiving digital data from a remote broadcaster and processing and decoding said data to provide video, audio and/or auxiliary data for display on a television (4) (TV) and/or for sounding via one or more speakers (14). The video, audio and/or auxiliary data relate to a plurality of television channels. The VCR (10) communicates with the television (4) via the BDR (8). The BDR (8) is provided with detection means for detecting which of the plurality of channels the VCR (10) and/or television (4) is tuned to.

Abstract: A broadcast data receiver (BDR) is provided with a web browser system. A service provided by the web browser system si selectable by a user of the BDR and, when selected, is controllable by the user via a remote control handset, thereby allowing an Internet web site page for display on a display screen connected to or forming part of the BDR to be determined and one or more user options can be selected if required. One or more icons are generated on at least a portion of the display screen and each of the icons represents a button on the remote control handset. Each icon is mapped to a specific control function or option of the web browser, thereby allowing user selection of a web browser control function or option by selection of the appropriate button on the remote control handset.

Abstract: A method of data synchronisation in a broadcast data receiver (BDR) (4) is provided. The BDR (4) receives data broadcast from a remote location via cable, satellite and/or terrestrial communication means and decodes said data to provide video, audio and/or auxiliary data. The method includes the steps of previewing the data ahead of a start point (106) at which decoding of a data stream (102, 104) is to be initiated in order to identify a time stamp (108) in the data stream, calculating the time period that will be taken to reach the time stamp (108) from the start point (106) and subtracting this time period from the time stamp (108) to provide a pseudo clock reference value for the playback of recorded video and audio data streams (102, 104) from the BDR (4).

Abstract: A method of registering a device 10 in a network is provided. The network includes one or more items of electrical apparatus 6. The network is opened for registration by actuating a registration mode in one of the electrical items 6 which results in the electrical item 6 providing a pre-determined communication range for a pre-determined period of time. The device 10 to be registered is moved within the pre-determined communication range of the electrical item 6, preferably within a pre-determined time period, thereby allowing electrical item 6 and the in-range device 10 to communicate registration data therebetween.

Abstract: A method for the control and application of a power supply to a low noise block (LNB) device and/or associated apparatus connected to a broadcast data receiver for satellite television. The method uses control means which, upon the switching on of the power supply, checks the voltage level at the LNB and if the voltage level exceeds a predefined threshold the LNB is deemed to be operable. If the voltage level is below the threshold level, the LNB is deemed to be inoperable, the power supply is switched off and then reapplied a period of time later and again the voltage level is checked. This allows genuine failure to be detected but allows initial failure due to capacitance loading to be overcome and an operable LNB to be accurately detected.
