Abstract: Systems and devices for controlling at least one entertainment device include at least one remote in two-way communication with a base device. Memories of the remote and the base device are operable to store substantially the same data as the other such that if the remote or base device fails, data in the memory of the non-failing device is loaded into a memory of a replacement device. A memory of a second remote may also store the same data as the remote memory such that if either the first remote or the base device fails, data in the memory of the second remote is loaded into a memory of a replacement device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and devices for controlling at least one entertainment device and further relates to at least one remote in two-way communication with a base device.

Abstract: A communication system comprises a central service node, a plurality of base stations, and a fiber network. The central service node is configured with a baseband data system, a central RF system, and a central optical system. The base stations are each configured with a base station optical system, a base station RF system, and a base station transceiver system. The baseband data system in the central service node processes baseband data. The central RF system converts the baseband data into electronic RF data. The central optical system converts the electronic RF data into optical RF data. The fiber network exchanges the optical RF data between the central service node and the base stations. The base station optical system converts the optical RF data into the electronic RF data. The base station RF system modifies frequencies of the electronic RF data.

Abstract: A communication system comprises a wireless transceiver and a control system. The wireless transceiver scans its memory addresses for frequencies in response to a wireless transceiver boot. The wireless transceiver then determines signal levels for the frequencies in response to the scan and transfers a first message indicating the signal levels for the frequencies. The control system receives the first message and determines a selected set of the frequencies based on the signal levels. The control system transfers a second message indicating the selected set of the frequencies. The wireless transceiver receives the second message and stores the selected set of the frequencies for subsequent use in wireless communication.

Abstract: A communication system comprises a plurality of wireless transceivers and a control system. The wireless transceivers periodically monitor transmit signals from the wireless transceivers to determine transmit signal strengths and transmit signal frequencies. The wireless transceivers transfer messages associating the wireless transceivers with the transmit signal strengths and transmit signal frequencies. The control system receives the messages. The control system generates an alarm if one of the transmit signal strengths at one of the transmit signal frequencies for one of the wireless transceivers exceeds a threshold.
