Abstract: A data platform may comprise a machine learning model indicative of a propensity of a buyer to buy a respective vehicle of a plurality of vehicles for sale. The data platform may execute the machine learning model on vehicle-related data for the plurality of vehicles to determine a propensity to buy score for a respective vehicle. Each of the vehicles may then be sorted by its propensity to buy score. A client terminal may display a list of vehicles for the buyer to buy, where the list is ordered such that a first vehicle in the list has a highest propensity to buy score and a last vehicle in the list has a lowest propensity to buy score.

Abstract: A method for television signal recording the method comprising the steps of: providing access to at least one catch up TV service; generating a signal comprising a graphical user interface of an electronic program guide; awaiting selection of a program for recording: the method further comprising the step of: checking whether the program, selected for recording, is available for retrieval via one of the at least one catch up TV service; storing a reference information to the program, the reference allowing for retrieval of the selected program from a selected program catch up TV service; making the selected program available as a recording entry on a list of recordings; monitoring expiry of the program in the selected catch up TV service; retrieving and recording the program, on a storage device, sufficiently prior to the expiry of the program in the catch up TV service.

Abstract: A method for prolonging the service life of a solid state drive. The method includes providing for use with a digital video recorder, a solid state drive (SSD) for time-shifted viewing of media content, changing the SSD from a first state to a second state based on a functional command from the user, and repeating changes between the first state and the second state, an accumulation of which over time results in a prolonged service life. A device designed to prolong the service life of a solid state drive is also provided.

Abstract: A method for locking and unlocking a functionality of a television data receiver, in which executing the functionality locking function involves interrupting the display of an active channel, displaying a substitute signal, storing a current configuration of the receiver in a memory and configuring the receiver to a transitional state. Executing the functionality unlocking function involves performing authorization and upon successful authorization, reading the configuration of the receiver from the memory and configuring the receiver in accordance with the read configuration. The configuration may further include settings of applications active upon activating a functionality locking function.

Abstract: The method of switching channels in a receiver, especially in a digital television receiver in which groups are assigned to channels, characterized in that the channel is manually chosen, a switching takes place to receive the selected channel, the previously active group is deactivated by means of the control signal, the group assigned to the selected channel is activated, and next with the use of the switching function, the next or previous channel is selected, and after this the next or the previous channel, which belongs to the currently active group, is searched and by means of control signal the receiver is set to receive this channel.
