  • Publication number: 20050005287
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing encrypted downstream signals to a plurality of receiver devices 130, 135, 140, where the devices 130, 135, 140 may have different decryption devices. A receiver network (i.e., a networked multimedia system) includes a splitter/isolation module (SIM) 125, a primary set-top terminal (STT) 130, and at least one remote device 135, 140. The remote devices 135, 140 communicate with the primary STT 130 via the SIM 125 over coaxial cable. Accordingly, the remote devices 135, 140 are capable of requesting and receiving stored programs via the networked multimedia overlay system. Depending upon the decryption device included in the requesting remote STT 135, 140, the primary STT 130 sends a stored program encrypted according to that decryption device.
