    摘要: A system for managing a digital video recorder includes a transceiver for receiving program signals from a media source and for transmitting the program signals to a display device. The transceiver is further operative to transmit information regarding the digital video recorder to the display device to generate a user-interface management screen on the display device for use in managing operation of the digital video recorder. The information includes data that is indicative of available recording space on the digital video recorder based on current and scheduled recordings.

    摘要: A system and method for transmitting and displaying information in a television distribution system (10), or the like, transmits information that is targeted to a viewer matching particular demographic data. The results of a viewer completed demographic survey are used to generate a database known as a bit mask (30) that is made up of the viewer's demographic data. The bit mask (30) is used to control the particular advertising or other related information that is received by each system viewer. In a first technique, the transmission signal carrying the program or advertisement displayed to all viewers is embedded with one or more codes. These codes are compared to the bit mask to determine whether the viewer fits the desired demographic profile, and should be provided with additional information. In a second technique, multiple ads for demographic selective receipt by each viewer are simultaneously transmitted, and are automatically selected for viewing, depending on the viewer's stored demographic data.
