Abstract: The various examples described herein generally provide systems and methods for generating a hybrid electronic programming guide (EPG) that includes both broadcast content and other types of content, such as over-the-top (OTT) content. In examples, broadcast content may be content provided by a satellite, terrestrial, or cable television provider. Other types of content, e.g., the OTT content, may be content that is delivered over an open network, such as the Internet. In examples, a secure processor may be employed to determine if a subscriber is authorized to access the OTT content based on subscription information received via a broadcast transmission.

Abstract translation: 本文描述的各种示例通常提供用于生成包括广播内容和诸如顶层（OTT）内容的其他类型的内容的混合电子节目指南（EPG）的系统和方法。 在示例中，广播内容可以是由卫星，陆地或有线电视提供商提供的内容。 其他类型的内容，例如OTT内容，可以是通过诸如因特网的开放网络传送的内容。 在示例中，可以采用安全处理器来基于经由广播传输接收的订阅信息来确定用户是否被授权接入OTT内容。

Abstract: One embodiment may take the form of a network media device including a processing unit configured to execute instructions stored on one or more storage media, and a first communication component coupled to the processing unit and configured to receive a video signal over an audio/video interface from a broadcast receiver. The video signal may include an image code including identifying information regarding the broadcast receiver. The processing unit may be configured to process the image code to extract the identifying information. A second communication component may be coupled to the processing unit and configured to transmit control signals based on the identifying information of the broadcast receiver.
