    摘要: A communication system 10 includes a service provider 12 used to provide content to a user device 14. The user device 14 is coupled to a network. A service is selected at the user device. A welcome video is communicated from the service provider 12 to the user device 14. A confirmation signal is provided from the user device 14 to the service provider 12 in response to successfully receiving the welcome video. Access to the service is enabled at the service provider 12 in response to the confirmation signal.

    摘要: In a broadcast system for transmitting a communication signal to a plurality of receiver units, each receiver unit having associated therewith respective authorization information identifying subsets of the communication signal the receiver unit is authorized to process, a method for controlling access to the communication signal includes the step of receiving a conditional instruction. The conditional instruction specifies a modification of the authorization information conditioned upon whether the receiver unit belongs to a receiver unit category. The method further includes the step of executing the conditional instruction to modify the authorization information conditioned upon whether the receiver unit belongs to the receiver unit category.

    摘要: A system and method for communicating content to users that includes a prioritizer and a listing module communicating the category and content identifier for a content to the prioritizer. The prioritizer associates a lifecycle having a plurality of lifecycle states with the category, assigns a first priority to the content in response to a first lifecycle state of the plurality of lifecycle states, changes the first lifecycle state to a second lifecycle state and changes the first priority to a second priority in response to changing the first lifecycle state to the second lifecycle state.

    摘要: A device and method for multiple access cards to interface to at least one integrated receiver/decoder (IRD) and methods for using the device. The interface device of the present invention contains multiple access card readers and houses multiple access cards. The device can switch between access cards based on pre-configured software that rotates the cards according to various conditions. In another embodiment, the device can simultaneously operate all the cards. The device can select one card for the IRD based on responses acquired for the various conditions. In addition, the present invention allows monitoring access card authorizations and blackout states in multiple IRDs. A single access card can be applied to more than one IRD simultaneously, and the IRDs can be different versions. In addition, the present invention provides a satellite broadcast center with the capability of testing multiple access cards in real time either sequentially, or in parallel, through multiple IRDs.
