Abstract: A system and method for configuring a remote control to command the operation of appliances, to capture demographic data, and to provide services, such as automated warranty registration, instructions, viewing guides, etc., relevant to the appliances is provided. The system includes a database and associated server that are located remotely from the remote control and accessible via a network connection. Command codes, graphical user interface elements, and services are accessed and downloaded to the remote control, as appropriate, using data supplied to the server that identifies the appliances and/or functional capabilities of the appliances. This data can be supplied by the appliances directly or can be obtained from other sources such as barcode labels, network devices, etc.

Abstract: A device uses received electronic program guide data to present an electronic program guide in a display of the device. The displayed electronic program guide includes at least one selectable user interface element corresponding to the at least one currently available media, e.g., a currently airing television program, and at least one user interface element corresponding to at least one yet-to-be available media, e.g., a future airing television program. When a user selects the at least one user interface element corresponding to the at least one currently available media the portable electronic device is caused to issue one or more commands to cause at least one controllable device to access the currently available media. When a user selects the at least one user interface element corresponding to the at least one yet-to be available media data related to the yet-to-be available media is transferred to a calendar application resident on the portable electronic device.
