    Abstract: A system may include a presentation device and a hub coupled thereto. The hub has a hardware processor which executes first computer instructions facilitating a conditions engine and second computer instructions facilitating a preferences engine. The preferences engine may identify a presentation preference and generate a preference instruction based on the presentation preference. The conditions engine, upon receiving the preference instruction, may identify a presentation condition and output a condition instruction to the presentation device. The system may include the presentation device, upon receiving the condition instruction, being configured in accordance with the presentation condition. The presentation preference may be an abstract preference, a technical preference, or a default preference. The presentation preference may be identified by the preferences engine based on a presentation setting, such as a location. The presentation condition may include at least one of an abstract condition, a technical condition, and a default condition.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for detecting timestamp discontinuities and video resolution discontinuities within a packet stream and marking locations of the detected discontinuities within the packet stream are described. Prior to transmission of the packet stream, an electronic device may perform timestamp discontinuity detection by acquiring a sequence of packets to be transmitted, identifying a first timestamp associated with an earliest packet within the sequence of packets, identifying a second timestamp associated with a latest packet within the sequence of packets, determining a timestamp time difference between the first timestamp and the second timestamp, determining a maximum chunk time difference based on a data rate at which the sequence of packets were encoded and a data size of the encoded packets, and detecting that a timestamp discontinuity exists within the sequence of packets if the timestamp time difference is greater than the maximum chunk time difference.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving satellite broadcasting services by enhancing set-top box (STB) signal reception during weather conditions that obstruct the transmission of RF signals from one or more satellites to a receiving antenna (e.g., a dish antenna) are described. To prevent loss of satellite broadcasting services, an enhanced STB signal system may be arranged between the receiving antenna and an STB in order to provide an enhanced signal to the STB in the event that the RF signals received by the receiving antenna are not able to be decoded. The enhanced STB signal system may transmit an enhanced signal to the STB instead of a signal that was only derived from the receiving antenna. The enhanced signal may comprise a combination of signals that derive from other receiving antennas different from the receiving antenna, as well as the signal derived from the receiving antenna.
