  • Apparatus for receiving signals during power-off (stand-by) mode
    Patent number: 6337719
    Abstract: The invention relates to a receiving apparatus comprising a receiver for receiving signals, e.g. radio or television signals, which comprises means for collecting particular information incorporated in at least a part of the signals, e.g. in order to build a compound electronic program guide. The apparatus according to the invention is adapted to perform the scanning when the receiver is not in use, e.g. during stand-by mode, or when the apparatus is performing a function which does not involve the receiver.

  • Fast extraction of program specific information from multiple transport streams
    Patent number: 6157673
    Abstract: A decoding system and method for a plurality of transport streams, such as MPEG-2 encoded data streams, in which, in addition to a transport decoder, a predecoder is provided for extracting program specific information (PSI) from the plurality of transport streams. Consequently, in the event of a channel change requiring a different transport stream to be decoded, the PSI is made immediately available to the transport decoder eliminating the delay of waiting for applicable packets in the transport stream to extract the PSI prior to decoding and presenting a program to a user. A fully populated crossbar switch controlled by a micro-controller is used to feed a selected transport stream to the transport decoder and to cause the plurality of transport streams to be successively fed to the predecoder.
