Abstract: The invention relates to a TV signal receiver (5) having a first input terminal (7) for receiving a first input signal, a first unit (11) for deriving a first TV signal from the first input signal, a second unit (xx) for supplying a second TV signal. A signal combination unit (19) replaces in response to a first control signal at least a part of the first TV signal by the second TV signal so as to obtain a composite TV signal. The composite TV signal is supplied to an output terminal. Control signal generator means (25) are provided for generating the first control signal. The TV signal receiver further comprises a storage device (17) for storing and reading the first TV signal so as to enable to delay the first TV signal prior to submitting the first TV signal to the signal combination unit, the storage device being adapted to suspend reading the first TV signal in response to the first control signal.

Abstract: A conversion unit (200) for converting a series of input image (110-114) into a series of output image (116-126). The time intervals (128,130) between consecutive input images (110-114) might be unequal. The time intervals (e.g. 132) between consecutive output images are substantially mutual equal (116-126). The output images (116-126) are calculated by means of motion compensated interpolation between input images (110-114).

Abstract: A method of and a device (100) for rendering a content item containing at least one advertisement. After confirming that the user has actively observed the at least one advertisement, the user is awarded a credit for said observing. If the user collects enough credits, he is given access to additional content material associated with the content item in return for a number of awarded credits. The credits are invalidated when rendering of the content item is complete. This gives users an incentive to collect a sufficient number of credits to access the additional content material before it is too late.
