Abstract: Bandwidth use between an access provider system (14) and a user computer (10) is adapted to an amount of subscription quotum that has been used by a subscriber. Quotum use information is representative of an amount of data that has been exchanged between the user computer (10) and an access provider system (14) since a predetermined time point. A request is received for retrieving media information from the network (16) and for rendering that media information at the user computer (10). In response to the request a selection is made between a plurality of versions of the requested media information, dependent on the quotum use information. Different versions require respective different data rates for transmission from the access provider system (14) to the user computer (10). The more quotum has been used, the lower the data rate of the selected version.

Abstract: In an arrangement including a remote control device and at least a first electronic device, the remote control device includes a first memory for storing a set of code data for controlling a further electronic device, the first memory being connected to an input of a signal generator for supplying the code data to the input, the signal generator generating, on the basis of the code data, control signals for controlling the further electronic device, and transmitting these control signals to the further electronic device. The first electronic device includes a data input for receiving data from the remote control device, and the remote control device includes a code data output unit connected to the first memory. The code data output unit has a further input for receiving an upload signal and reads, under control of the upload signal, at least a subset of the set of code data from the first memory.

Abstract: In an arrangement including a remote control device and at least a first electronic device, said remote control devices having a first memory for storing a set of code data for controlling a further electronic device, which first memory is connected to an input of a signal generator to supply said code data to said input, which signal generator is adapted to generate, on the basis of said code data, control signals for controlling said further electronic device, and to transmit said control signals to said further electronic device, said first electronic device having a data input arranged to receive data from said remote control device, said remote control has a code data output unit connected to said first memory, said code data output unit having a further input for receiving an upload signal and being adapted to read, under control of said upload signal, at least a subset of said set of code data from said memory, said code data output unit being further adapted to transmit said subset burstwise to said d
