Abstract: A multi-room media network includes a network for providing device interconnectivity for receiving and sending data and a plurality of content control devices coupled to the network. Password control for multi-room digital video recorder is provided through the resetting and/or resynchronization of a password for a multi-room digital video recorder.

Abstract: Modular storage functionality is provided for a digital video recorder (DVR), which may be configured in such a way as to limit a user's access to the whole storage capacity, and wherein a user may choose to increase or decrease the amount of accessible storage capacity of the internal storage medium.

Abstract: Content is provided for viewing by a plurality of media devices. The content is stored on the using a file system that includes metadata regarding the content and the users. The metadata is organized according to programs and user metadata. The metadata is used to manage provisioning of the at lest one media file by a plurality of users.

Abstract: A multi-room media network includes a network for providing device interconnectivity for receiving and sending data and a plurality of content control devices coupled to the network. Device management for multiple room-digital video recording is provided by a trusted device list. The trusted device list allows the configuration of a plurality of media devices in a media network to be managed and controlled.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to identify viewing information are disclosed. In an example method, at least one media signal delivered by a content terminal such as a set top box to a media presentation device such as a television is detected. The media signal includes pixel information that is used to generate one or more images on the television. Encoded viewing information generated at a media consumption site is extracted from the pixel information by a metering device, decoded by the metering device, and then transmitted to a data collection facility for processing.
