摘要： Methods and systems are provided to switch television channels during a commercial break and automatically notify the viewer when the commercial on the original channel is over so that the user may switch back to watch the original channel. This permits a viewer to avoid commercials during live television while maximizing the viewing of desired content on the original channel. A television channel selection device includes two independent tuners. In normal operation, a first tuner provides channel-selected signals to a television. When a viewer sees a commercial, the system begins a process employing a second independent tuner to internally monitor the first tuner signal until the termination of the commercial is detected. In the meantime, the first tuner provides channel-selected signals so that the viewer may view other channels. The viewer is notified of the end of the commercials by one of a variety of notification techniques.
摘要翻译：提供方法和系统以在商业中断期间切换电视频道，并且当原始频道上的商业广告结束时自动通知观众，使得用户可以切换回观看原始频道。这允许观众在直播电视中避免商业广告，同时最大限度地在原始频道上观看期望的内容。电视频道选择装置包括两个独立的调谐器。在正常操作中，第一调谐器向电视机提供频道选择的信号。当观众看到商业广告时，系统开始采用第二独立调谐器的过程来内部监视第一调谐器信号，直到检测到广告的终止。同时，第一个调谐器提供频道选择的信号，使得观看者可以观看其他频道。通过各种通知技术之一，向观众通知广告的结束。

摘要： Methods and systems provide for the distribution of both computer and home entertainment information. Computer and home entertainment audio-visual sources are distributed to displays throughout a house, and any of the sources can be viewed from any of the displays. Computers and televisions are integrated while allowing the computers and the televisions to be located in separate rooms of the house, thereby minimizing the need to co-locate items or to install additional wiring. The computer and home entertainment sources may be located in a single area and distributed to various receivers throughout the house. Multiple users may share any given information source. The entertainment and computer sources are connected to a single information hub that distributes the various source signals to remote receivers. Users may view any of the sources from any receiver in the house, and multiple different users may view different sources from any receivers in the house.
