Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of receiving and decoding military L2 or L1 P(Y) or M-Code signals and re-transmitting these in real-time as legacy L1-C/A signals. The decoding process of the P(Y) or M-code is done through the programming by the user of secret keys into an embodiment of this invention. These military code signals are then decoded into standard PVT/PNT information which are typically transmitted on an industry standard serial port and format, which are then re-encoded using a real-time GPS simulator sub-system as legacy L1-C/A code signals, and transmitted to the output of the embodiment of this invention as a standard antenna signal. This output signal could be made compatible with any commercial L1-C/A code GPS receiver, and may thus be decoded by the GPS receiver as if the signals had been received directly from the Satellites.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method, and apparatus for providing enhanced functionality to a digital terminal device, such as a set top box configured with a default application program. In one embodiment, the present invention is comprised of a media receiving apparatus. The media receiving apparatus is communicatively coupled to and is integral to the form factor of a set top box. In the present embodiment, the media receiving apparatus is adapted to receive a digital storage media, such as a memory stick. In the present embodiment, the media receiving apparatus is further comprised of an accessing mechanism coupled to the media receiving apparatus. The accessing mechanism is adapted to access the data disposed within a received digital storage media. In the present embodiment, the present invention is further comprised of a relaying mechanism coupled to the media receiving apparatus.
