Abstract: A broadcast data receiver system is provided and a method of operating the system. The system includes a first broadcast data receiver (BDR) (2) located at a first location, typically in a premises. The BDR (2) receives video, audio and/or auxiliary digital data broadcast from a remote location via cable, satellite or terrestrial means. The BDR processes the data and displays the processed data on a display screen (10) and/or audio data via speakers connected thereto. At least a second broadcast data receiver (8) is provided at least a second location typically in the same premises. One of the first and second BDRs (2, 8) is made functional by a signal received from the other of the first and second BDRs, via a telecommunications line (4) provided in the premises and connecting the first and at least second BDRs together, thereby ensuring that both BDRs are connected before operation of the two BDRs can be achieved.

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 translation: 提供广播数据接收机（BDR）（4）中数据同步的方法。 BDR（4）通过有线，卫星和/或地面通信装置从远程位置接收数据，并解码所述数据以提供视频，音频和/或辅助数据。 该方法包括以下步骤：预先启动数据流（102,104）的解码的起始点（106）之前的数据，以便识别数据流中的时间戳（108），计算数据流 将从起始点（106）到达时间戳（108）并从时间戳（108）减去该时间段的时间段，以提供用于记录的视频和音频数据流的重放的伪时钟参考值 （102,104）从BDR（4）。

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the quality of a signal transmitted from a broadcaster to at least one broadcast data receiver (BDR) at a remote location from the broadcaster. The signal includes digital data for reception and processing by the BDR. The invention relates to the steps of generating constellation error vectors for the symbols of the transmitted signal and then ascertaining gain and phase impairments present in the received signal. Unique averaged error vector signatures are obtained for said impairments and identify those impairments which have fixed or slowly varying gain and/or phase values.

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 available 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 infrared remote control and stimulates input to a target infrared receiver.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing a user interface translation system for an electronic device, such as a broadcast cast data receiver (BDR). The BDR is connected to a television set for display of the user interface. The method includes the steps of attaching a unique label to each language component of the user interface. Data relating to each unique label of the language components is recorded into storage means, together with equivalent translations of each language component into at least one other language. The recorded data is linked with the user interface so that each unique label of the interface matches with an equivalent unique label of the recorded data. Upon user-selection of one of the available language, the required translation of the language components is inserted into the user interface from the recorded data corresponding to the equivalent unique labels.
