    摘要: A method to control recording of a digital program includes receiving a recording instruction to record the digital program. The method further includes determining a time at which the recording instruction is received. A predefined recording profile for the digital program is retrieved, the recording profile comprising an allowed time range during which the digital program can be recorded. The program is allowed to be recorded if the determined time at which the recording instruction is received falls within the allowed time range as provided by the predefined recording profile for the digital program.

    摘要: Enhanced caller ID display functionality is linked to Photo or image and/or address book or other database information elements associated with the caller by the call recipient to provide a richer Caller ID Display experience. The enhanced ID caller information is displayed on the call recipient's television via, for example, a television set-top box. Advantageously, the call recipient selects the information to associate with the caller. This is advantageous because it is the recipient that is in the best position to know which information, including which image or images, is most useful to the recipient in relation to the caller.
