Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing downstream signals to a plurality of receiver networks. A receiver network (i.e., a networked multimedia system) includes a splitter/isolation module (SIM), a primary set-top terminal (STT), and at least one point of deployment module. The point of deployment module communicates with the primary STT via the SIM over coaxial cable. Accordingly, the point of deployment module and connected television utilize some or all of the features including hardware and software that are included in the primary STT via the networked multimedia system.

Abstract: Interactive network guide with parental control in a networked multi-room system. The networked multi-room system is made up of one primary device and one or more remote devices where the primary device includes an indication of status of at least one of the remote devices. The user on the primary device can block presentations on any remote device on demand from the primary device. The block will expire when the presentations ends.
