Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for associating a subscriber's subscription profile established with a local media content delivery network, or MSO, with a remote CPE and/or network gateway device, perhaps for example served by the same MSO. One or more techniques may control the delivery of a subscriber's media content, perhaps for example by a media control device. Techniques may include receiving one or more credentials by the media control device, where the media control device is geographically remote from the subscriber's local media content delivery network. A signal may be sent to a media content delivery network device, where the signal may include information corresponding to the credentials. A configuration may be received for the subscriber's local media content delivery network in response to the signal. The configuration may be installed on the media control device. Media content may be delivered by the media control device.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for automated utilization of vulnerability databases for consumer electronic (CE) devices. The method includes deploying one or more customer-premise equipment or customer-provided equipment (CPE) broadband devices, each of the one or more broadband devices having one or more software components; loading a database of software component on each of the one or more broadband devices, the database of software components having a functional use case associated with each software component; periodically performing an automated reading of one or more published vulnerability databases; and comparing a list of vulnerabilities from the one or more published vulnerability databases against the database of software components for each of the one or more broadband devices.
