Abstract: A computer-implemented method for navigating through channels in a content receiver, wherein the channels have assigned channel numbers and categories, the method comprising: providing a list of categories; providing an ordered list of channels for each category; upon receiving a channel zapping command (SIMILAR+, SIMILAR?), selecting a next channel or a previous channel from the list of channels for the current category; upon receiving a category zapping command (NEXT, PREV), selecting a last watched channel in a next category or a previous category from the list of categories and changing the current category to the next category or the previous category; storing the channel number of the selected channel as the last watched channel on the current channel category; and tuning the content receiver to the selected channel. A suitable predictive channels assignment to respective tuners is also disclosed.

Abstract: Method for automatic adjustment of a scheduled recording time of an A/V data stream being recorded, the method comprising the steps of: selectively collecting audio data frames, from said A/V data stream, within specified time intervals; detecting a start and an end of an advertisements block present in said A/V data stream; for each time interval, computing a fingerprint in case such time interval does not fall within said advertisements block; after said end of the advertisements block: accepting a request to verify a continuity of said A/V data stream being recorded; selectively collecting reference audio data frames for comparison and computing a reference fingerprint for said reference audio data frames; comparing said reference fingerprint with at least one fingerprint collected prior to the start of said advertisements block in order to obtain a level of similarity between said fingerprints; based on the level of similarity, taking a decision whether to adjust the scheduled recording time of said A/V d

Abstract: A method for distributing video content with a time shift function to at least one mobile device (411-413) at a customer premises (140) system comprising a plurality of stationary devices (421-423) capable of receiving the video content from at least one content provider (160).

Abstract: A method for controlling a virtual input interface in a device comprising a touch-screen, the method comprising the steps of: displaying virtual input interface comprising a plurality of commands; awaiting a change in device's orientation in 3D space; determining the change type the method being characterized in that it further comprises the steps of: executing a command of zooming or panning of the virtual input interface based on the determination step; updating the displayed virtual input interface to reflect the executed command.
