Abstract: A first device may receive connection requests to establish communications between a second device located behind a firewall and a third device located outside of the firewall. The first device may be located outside of the firewall. The second device and the third device may store data. The first device may receive a request for the data. The first device may provide the request via a first connection or a second connection. The device may receive the data. The data stored by the second device may be received by the first device from behind the firewall without using a tunnel through the firewall and in a streaming manner. The first device may provide the data. The data stored by the third device may be provided to the second device in the streaming manner.

Abstract: The present application relates to set top boxes and relates to the inclusion of a diagnostic function in the set top box which may be activated remotely or respond internally to the detection of faults or changes in status. The diagnostic function may emulate key presses from an infrared remote control to perform a test.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure enable a set top box to be installed. In some examples, a remote control device, a computing device, and a set top box are provided. The computing device downloads configuration information for a location and receives input from an installer at the location. The set top box includes a remote control interface that receives commands from the remote control device, a local communications channel that transmits data to the computing device, an emulator that emulates the receipt of the commands by injecting remote control keypresses into the remote control interface to issue the commands, and a diagnostic feature activatable over the local communications channel by the computing device after the computing device receives the input to perform verification tests and to return results of the verification tests to the computing device to confirm to the installer that the set top box has been installed correctly.
