    Abstract: Various arrangements for debugging a hung thread of a software application are presented. A thread monitor module may be executed that monitors for any hung threads within a plurality of executing threads. A monitoring initialization message may be received that initiates thread monitoring of a thread. In response to the monitoring initialization message, tracking of the thread may be commenced by determining whether an update message for the thread has been received within an amount of time allotted for the update message to be sent. If the update message is not received, the thread may be identified as hung. Debugging information generated in response to identifying the hung thread may be used for creating an improved version of the software application that prevents the hang.

    Abstract: A method of providing channel content in a broadcast content reception and distribution system includes: receiving, by a broadcast content reception device, information that identifies a channel that provides channel content, from a content player device; receiving, by the broadcast content reception device, a signal that transmits the channel content, from an antenna; receiving, by the broadcast content reception device, information that indicates a signal strength corresponding to the channel based on the signal that transmits the channel content received from the antenna; determining, by the broadcast content reception device, that the signal strength is less than or equal to a threshold value based on the information that indicates the signal strength; and transmitting, by the broadcast content reception device, a message to the content player device in response to the determining that the signal strength is less than or equal to the threshold value.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving the delivery of streamed audiovisual content derived from over-the-air digital television signals by reducing streaming start latency are described. In response to detecting a request from a client device to begin a streaming session for a video stream captured by an over-the-air antenna, a streaming device in communication with the client device via a wired or wireless networking connection may transmit a reduced resolution version of the video stream to the client device, establish encryption and decryption keys for a secure connection with the client device while the reduced resolution version of the video stream is transmitted to the client device, communicate a point in time after which an encrypted version of the video stream will be transmitted to the client device, and transmit the encrypted version of the video stream to the client device starting at the point in time.
