NETWORKED MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM HAVING A MULTI-ROOM INTERACTIVE NETWORK GUIDE

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing downstream signals to a plurality of receiver networks. A receiver network (101) (i.e., a networked multimedia system) includes a splitter/isolation module (SIM), a primary set-top terminal (STT) (105), and at least one remote device (140-1). The remote devices (140-1) communicate with the primary STT (105) via the SIM over coaxial cable (111). Accordingly, the remote devices utilize some or all of the features including hardware and software that are included in the primary STT via the networked multimedia system. A network guide is provided that displays the past and present activity status of each of the receiving devices.
