A method ( 200 ) for automatically establishing an isochronous signal for transmission to a signal receiving device includes: using a serial bus ( 80 ) responsive to a set-top device ( 10 ) and a first signal receiving device ( 12 ), the serial bus having an architecture defined by an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ("IEEE")- 1394 specification, discovering ( 202 ) a signal receiving capability of the first signal receiving device ( 12 ); and without user intervention, based on the discovered signal receiving capability, producing ( 204 ) an isochronous signal ( 14 ) for transmission to the first signal receiving device ( 12 ) over the serial bus ( 80 ).
