    摘要: An Internet server is operatively coupled to a configurable set-top terminal (STT), thereby providing remote access to the configurable STT through the Internet server. The Internet server is configured to provide web-pages that preferably emulate the user interface for the configurable STT. In that regard, a subscriber can log into the Internet server and configure the configurable STT from various devices that are Internet-compatible. The Internet server is configured to translate input by the subscriber into configuration information for the configurable STT that is pushed out to the configurable STT directly after being received from the subscriber.

    摘要: DVD recording of tuned source with ad insertion. Additional material, such as commercials, previews, and computer files can be inserted into a presentation that has been saved on a storage device. The presentation originates from a recording of a tuned signal. The additional information can replace the original ads of a presentation and be used when making a menu for the DVD. The additional material inserted into the presentations can be tailored to fit each individual user.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for qualifying performance of a disk drive in a digital home communications terminal (DHCT) deployed in the field. In embodiment, among others, at least one DHCT is identified for performance testing. A disk drive performance test application is downloaded to the DHCT over a communication channel. Performance test results are received from the DHCT over the communication channel. A DHCT is designated as having a hard disk failure if the test results are below a threshold.

    摘要: Networked multi-room system ad insertion. Replacement material can be inserted into a presentation from a tuned source in a networked multi-room system (NMS) with a primary device and at least one remote device. Ad-insertion tags in the presentation correspond with commercial breaks in the presentation. Replacement material, such as new commercials, that may be user specific, can be inserted at the tags. The presentation can be recorded to a DVD or played from the primary device to remote devices in the NMS. Different devices could display the same presentation, but with different commercials.

    摘要: Interactive network guide with parental monitoring in a networked multi-room system. The networked multi-room system is made up of one primary device and one or more remote devices where the primary device includes an indication of status of at least one of the remote devices. For example, a user of the primary device can choose to receive a display of status change each time one of the remote devices toggles between on, off, changes to a different channel, or presents a recorded program from the primary device. The user also has the option of creating a PIP view on a display device coupled to the primary device showing the current tuned signal being displayed by one of the remote devices.
