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.

Abstract: The invention relates to the provision of apparatus and a method for the tuning to one of a range of radio frequency signals to receive data which can subsequently be used to generate a radio or television channel selected by the user of the apparatus. The bit error rate of the output of the received radio frequency signal is monitored and, if the bit error rate exceeds the predefined bit error rate limit the apparatus is retuned to a frequency which is equivalent to the selected radio frequency signal plus or minus an offset frequency value. The bit error rate is thereafter monitored and an increase in the offset can be used if required. The invention allows a reduction in data errors which may be caused by interference from other apparatus.

Abstract: The invention to which this application relates is to the generation of a font or text on a display screen such as, for example, a display screen of a television set. The present invention provides a means whereby a broadcast data receiver can be used to generate font or text on a nulltransparentnull video background so that a video image on the screen is still viewable which moves yet still reduce the visible flicker of the font or text with respect to the video image. By following the present invention, there is provided a means whereby flickering text which conventionally occurs on transparent backgrounds can be eliminated or at least reduced.

The BDR provides a power supply to allow operation of the LNB. At least two analogue to digital converter sampling points are provided to allow the input and output voltages to be measured at the LNB, thereby allowing the voltage drop across a linear regulator (8) of the LNB to be assessed. Control means are provided to control the power supply from the BDR to the LNB in response to the voltage measurements obtained.
