Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device that can easily configure an entertainment system automatically or semi-automatically. The reconfiguration of the entertainment system can be achieved by cycling through the possible configurations of the entertainment system (i.e. different combinations of operational states of the components that make up the entertainment system) by changing various operational states of certain components until an operable configuration is found. The invention may be implemented in any component of the entertainment system including a set-top-box, satellite receiver or a remote control.

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 translation: 呈现用于向广播通信接收机的用户提供与地理区域相关联的信息的方法。 信息以及与信息相关联的地理区域的指示被发送到每个广播通信接收机并由其接收。 在每个接收机中，将地理区域的指示与与接收机相关联并存储在接收机内的地理码进行比较。 如果地理代码指示接收机位于地理区域内，则每个接收机还将信息中继到接收机的用户。
