    Abstract: A method is presented for providing information associated with a geographical area to users of broadcast communication receivers. The information, as well as an indication of the geographical area associated with the information, are transmitted to, and received by, each of the broadcast communication receivers. In each of the receivers, the indication of the geographical area is compared with a geographic code associated with, and stored within, the receiver. Each of the receivers also relays the information to the user of the receiver if the geographic code indicates that the receiver is located within the geographical area.

    Abstract: A method is presented for notifying a user (210) of a broadcast communication channel problem. At a broadcast distribution facility (202), a problem involving a first broadcast communication channel (206) from the broadcast distribution facility (202) to a broadcast communication receiver (204) associated with the user (210) is detected. A cause of the problem is ascertained at the facility (202). The broadcast distribution facility (202) then relays an indication of the cause of the problem to the receiver (204) over a second broadcast communication channel (208) from the facility (202) to the receiver (204). The receiver (204) informs the user (210) of the cause of the problem.

    Abstract: A system (100) for accessing entertainment options includes a graphic user interface generator (103) that generates program listing display data to display a listing of programs available for downloading. A user may select one or more programs from the listing using the user access device, thereby initiating download of the selected program by a communication component (101). A storage device (102) stores user history data used to generate recommendation data to enable the user to view, select and/or download recommended programs. The program data from a remote communication system (140) may include real-time programs broadcast by the remote communication system, program guide data including programs available for download from the remote communication system, which the user may search using the user access device.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus (100) for improved digital recording and presentation of broadcast information is disclosed. Received broadcast data, which may include video, audio, private, or other data, relating to one or more particular content programs, is presented from an input section (120) to a buffer (220) and recorded directly onto a storage device (150) without any intelligent parsing, such as indexing, and without any manipulation by intermediate hardware or software functions. Upon normal presentation, statistics may be generated to determine the ideal number of frames to skip, the number of bytes to seek, and the size of data files to read from the storage device (150) during time-shifted presentation. Algorithms and processes are provided to dynamically optimize time-shifted presentation. In this way, data may be captured to the storage device (150) more efficiently and economically, and the time-shifted presentation operations may be performed in a smoother, more nuanced manner with the application of appropriate probabilistic algorithms.

    Abstract: A media control system (103) receives first product information that describes a first media product and receives second product information that describes a second media product. The media control system (103) processes the first product information with a filter (206) to determine if the first media product should be blocked. The media control system (103) selects data from the first product information and modifies the filter (206) based on the data. The media control system (103) processes the second product information with the modified filter to determine if the second media product should be blocked and blocks the second media product based on the modified filter.

    Abstract: An electronic system (100) includes a remote control device (110) and a first electronic device (120). The remote control device (110) accepts a user input (170) signifying a command for a second electronic device (130), and generates the command (140) for the second electronic device, and an indication (150) of the command. An advantage of utilising the indication of the command is that it informs the first electronic device (120) that there is activity at the second electronic device (130). The second electronic device (130) might be a television, for example, of which a user is altering the volume by use of the remote control device (110). The first electronic device (120) might be a set top box. Whilst there is no direct interaction between the user and the set top box, the set top box has been informed of user activity by the indication (150) of a command. This can prevent the set top box automatically switching to standby mode.
