Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for the controlling the distribution of video programs and other data to a set top box based on the geographic location of the set top box. For instance, in one example, a device includes a processor and a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations include determining a time to send a current geographic location of the device to a remote server, sending a first signal to the remote server, wherein the current geographic location is encoded in the first signal, extracting an instruction from a second signal sent by the remote server in response to the first signal, and taking an action in response to the instruction, wherein the action alters an ability of the device to process a satellite signal.

Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for the delivery of video data and power via a single device port. For instance, in one example, a device includes a processor and a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations include receiving a power signal via a first port of the device, receiving a data stream via the first port of the device, and decoding the data stream to extract displayable content from the data stream.
