Abstract

One receiver is configured in the main state and the other receivers are configured in the secondary state. The receivers are communicatively coupled to each other via a local communications link and the main receiver determines the co-location state of the secondary states, and transmits authorization information to the secondary receivers in response to the determination. The secondary receivers are enabled to process program signals and provide output signals in response to the authorization information.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of and / or priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 605,907, filed August 31, 2004, entitled "Configuration Management for Co-Located Network System." technical field [0002] The present invention relates generally to video distribution systems, and more particularly, to video distribution systems including co-located set-top boxes. Background technique [0003] In the past, locations such as homes typically had at most one content receiver, usually in the form of a set-top box (STB). Sites with multiple STBs are considered to be rare. Today, however, more and more households contain two or more STBs that receive and share the same content distribution equipment (eg, Digital Broadcast Satellite (DBS) television service). Thus, today's typical home appliances may have more than one content receiver and interface, such as STBs and televisions. Content service providers (including DBS service providers) may offer s...
