Abstract: A household level electronic program guide which provides a PC user with a specific guide of television stations which are available at a location where a cable has been scanned to determine the television channels and stations being broadcast thereon and being provided to the PC.

Abstract: A system for delivering data including rerun digital programming via unused bandwidth of digital side channels and the Internet to consumers, which system includes a monitor for providing real time feedback of the amount of unused bandwidth available for auxiliary transmissions.

Abstract: A computer and internet-based system and method for providing television and radio programming information and channel assignments to users, which is based upon a household level determination of a location of the user.

Abstract: A system and method for distribution of one or more content items to one or more users over a network, such as the Internet. One or more users that access a content item may provide an indication of objection to the content item. The content item may be flagged for manual review when a first threshold percentage of indications of objection is met. The content item is automatically removed from distribution when a second threshold percentage of indications of objection is met and a threshold number of instances of access is met.

Abstract: A system and method for providing advertising content to a user that is traveling away from a base geographic location. A current physical location of the user is determined. The current physical location of the user is used in evaluating whether the user is traveling away from the base geographic location. Based at least in part on the evaluation that the user is traveling, one or more travel-appropriate advertisements are provided to the user.

Abstract: A computer and Internet-based system and method for providing television and radio programming information to users, through a multi-tabbed viewing screen, where at least one of the tabs is individualized to a particular viewer's preferences.

Abstract: A household level electronic program guide which provides a PC user with a specific guide of television stations which are available at a location where a cable has been scanned to determine the television channels and stations being broadcast thereon and being provided to the PC.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the reception of video programming as a function of a location associated with a prospective viewer. In one embodiment, a GPS receiver is utilized to control the delivery to the location. In another embodiment, a distributed approach is utilized which uses at least two separated servers in which one is used for inputting information relating to a location and another server is utilized for determining eligibility and either directly through a hardware connection or indirectly through a display terminal providing for manipulation of the satellite receiver and satellite transmitter combination so as to restrict access to signal reception by said satellite receiver at the location if a strength of a terrestrially broadcast television signal exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A system for delivering rerun digital programming via digital side channels and the Internet to consumers, which system includes a video recorder which provides the rerun programming in other than real time.

Abstract: A system for selecting antenna for a particular street address for terrestrially broadcast signals, where the system uses a web server to provide antenna performance characteristics for antennae recommended for use at the street address to receive the signals.

Abstract: A computer and internet-based system and method for providing television and radio programming information and channel assignments to users, which is based upon a household level determination of a location of the user.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the reception of electronic digital signals, which could include internet signals as a function of the location of a receiver for receiving the internet signals and further as a function of the signal strength of a terrestrially broadcast television signal at the location of the internet receiver is disclosed.

Abstract: A computer and internet-based system and method for programming a PVR to record a particular program on an on-line programming guide, where clicking on a link in a cell in the program guide provides to a PVR or image viewer a standardized set of instructions directing the PVR or image viewer to record or display the program associated with the programming guide cell.

Abstract: A system for authorizing reception, via multiple signal distribution mechanisms including: satellite, cable, internet, broadcast, etc. by a consumer at a first location, of programming content based upon numerous criteria, including a signal strength calculator, a distance from a point calculator, and a GIS boundary computer, the system including an authorization server making repetitive authorization determinations and providing a location specific authorized content list for the first location.

Abstract: A system for delivering rerun digital programming via digital side channels and the Internet to consumers, which system includes a video recorder which provides the rerun programming in other than real time.
