    Abstract: An integrated receiver/decoder (IRD) allows independent, simultaneous viewing of two channels with a relatively small increase in unit cost over an IRD that receives and displays only a single channel. The IRD is controlled by first and second remote control devices to display one program on a display device local to the IRD and to modulate and transmit the second television signal to a remote television receiver for independent viewing on another display.
