Abstract: A subscriber satellite broadcast receiver is provided. The receiver includes a tuner/demodulator for transforming satellite broadcast signals to a digital data stream, a decoder for decoding the digital data stream into a format suitable for display on a display device and a processor operatively coupled to the tuner/demodulator and the decoder. A short-range wireless transceiver is coupled to the processor for establishing a connection with a satellite broadcast service provider.

Abstract: A clip for use in combination with a fitting of a variety adapted for a releasable connection with the distal end of a length of tubing as including a body member, and an annular collet member received within a gland of the body member for slidable axial movement intermediate a rearward position accommodating the radial outward expansion of the collet member for the insertion and removal of the tubing end therethrough and a forward position effecting the radially inward contraction of the collet member about the outer tubing diameter delimiting the removal of the tubing distal end from the fitting. The clip includes a retaining portion configured to be received coaxially on the collet member intermediate an external forward end thereof and an opposing end of the fitting body member, and a shroud portion configured to extend over the forward end of the collet member for delimiting force-transmitting contact therewith tending to move the collet member from its forward to rearward position.
