Abstract: A method for controlling the operation of a plurality of consumer electronic devices by displaying a plurality of broadcast channel identifiers each corresponding to a broadcast channel in a display of a controlling device adapted to command at least channel tuning operations of the plurality of consumer electronic devices. Input is accepted into the controlling device that functions to designate one of the plurality of broadcast channel identifiers and the controlling device uses the designation of the one of the plurality of broadcast channel identifiers to cause a transmission of a wireless signal from the controlling device to a one of the plurality of consumer electronic devices to thereby cause the one of the plurality of consumer electronic devices to tune to the broadcast channel corresponding to the designated one of the plurality of broadcast channel identifiers. A condition associated with at least one of the controlling device and the designated one of the plurality of broadcast channel identifiers functions to determine the one of the plurality of consumer electronic devices to which the wireless signal is transmitted.

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.
