摘要

A system for receiving and decoding packet-based video signals, and method of operation and computer program product for such system are disclosed. The system receives a packet- based data stream encoding a video or television signal. The content is analysed in accordance with user-editable rules to find matches between conditions specified in the rules and corresponding actions to be taken. On detection of a match with the received content, a corresponding action is implemented by issuing a command to control a component which is under the control of said receiving and decoding system.
