    Abstract: Systems and methods for updating television receiving devices (such as cable and satellite set-top boxes) include functionality that pre-downloads software or firmware updates for the receiving device on a mobile device, such as a smartphone, of a television service provider technician. In order to communicate the updates to the receiving device from the mobile device, during initial installation of the set-top box at the customer premises, the technician connects his or her mobile device to the same input of the set-top box that normally receives the television programming and remote software or firmware updates from the television service provider. The mobile device may include or be coupled to an adapter that adapts a signal and hardware interface from an output interface of the mobile device to a signal and hardware interface compatible with the input interface of the set-top box.

    Abstract: A base station device used with a vehicle includes a first transceiver which communicates with a first network, a second transceiver which communicates with a second network, and a third transceiver which communicates with devices within the vehicle. The base station device also includes a processor and a memory device that cause the base station device to: obtain types of traffic being transmitted or received by the devices within the vehicle, assign first priority values to the types of traffic being transmitted or received by each of the devices within the vehicle, assign second priority values to the devices within the vehicle; assign each of the types of traffic to the first transceiver or the second transceiver based on the first priority values and the second priority values, and redirect traffic to the first transceiver and to the second transceiver.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system including a content receiver and an antenna coupled to the content receiver. A camera is mounted on the antenna. The content receiver includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the content receiver to: output a control signal to the camera mounted on the antenna, receive image data from the camera mounted on the antenna, determine that the image data received from the camera mounted on the antenna indicates a potential or actual obstruction of the antenna or movement of the antenna, and output a message indicating that the potential or actual obstruction of the antenna or movement of the antenna device has been detected, in response to determining that the image data received from the camera mounted on the antenna indicates the potential or actual obstruction of the antenna or movement of the antenna.
