DOWNLOADING OF SOFTWARE PROGRAMS

摘要

The invention relates to a receiver [STB] intended to process at least one content [p] sent by a transmission station over a network [NET] including transportation channels configured for transporting said content, characterized in that it can be connected during so-called supply events on a so-called program channel [PGC] belonging to said network [NET]. The program transportation channel [PGC] conveys according to the invention at least one content [P(SW)] including at least one software program [SW], intended to control the receiver, coded and in a loop. The receiver [STB] is connected [CNX] to said program channel [PGC], reads and decodes [DEC] and stores said software program [SW] in a volatile memory [VME]. Control means [CNT] controlled by a so-called supply program [SPG] stored in a non-volatile memory [NVM] control the connection [CNX] of the receiver [STB] to the program channel [PGC], the reading and decoding [DEC] and the storing [STR] of the software programs [SW].
