Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for connected entertainment devices. In one implementation, location identifier(s) are received from a first device and processed to identify biometric identifier(s) associated with users determined to be present within a defined proximity of the first device. The identified biometric identifier(s) are provided to the first device. An action notification is received from the first device, the action notification including location identifier(s) associated with the first device, input(s) originating from sensor(s) of the first device, and an identifier associated with a target of the action. The action notification is processed in relation to location identifier(s) associated with the target of the action to determine a result of the action. Operations are initiated based on the result of the action.

Abstract: A satellite signal distribution system including a headend which includes a fiberoptic transmitter that combines satellite signals from a satellite antenna with non-satellite television signals, a plurality of signal receive and distribution units, a plurality of optical fiber links which communicate the combined satellite and non-satellite signals between the headend and the plurality of signal receive and distribution units, and a multiplicity of signal links which communicate signals between each of the plurality of signal receive and distribution units and a plurality of satellite signal receivers and non-satellite signal receivers.
