Provided are a device and a method which are capable of performing selection acquisition and utilization processes for a service worker (SW) that performs data management optimized for each reception device. It is possible to selectively acquire a service worker (SW) of a specific class from service workers (SWs) corresponding to a plurality of classes which are data management programs used in a reception device and have different data management types. For example, use of a service worker (SW) corresponding to a class selected according to an application use state in a reception device is implemented. A reception device acquires access information of a service worker (SW) of a specific class using signaling data in which a token used for efficiently searching for the access information of the service worker (SW) of the specific class is recorded, and acquires the service worker (SW).

A module for generating signal-reception options, the module being configured to receive at least one signal transmitted by at least one antenna; the generating module including at least one group of mixers and at least one input module; the at least one group of mixers including a number Y of mixers in which Y is an integer equal to or higher than 1; the at least one input module being coupled to the at least one group of mixers and configured to deliver a number Z of reception options available to receive the at least one signal, the number Z being determined depending at least on the number Y and/or on a number of types of signals received by the at least one group of mixers.

Recorded broadcast programs, including advertisements, are selected for playback responsive to user input. The user input may include pressing a button multiple times to cause recorded programs to be scanned through for a particular preset channel from newest recorded to oldest recorded. Pressing another button multiple times causes the recorded programs to be scanned through for the particular present channel from oldest recorded to newest recorded. Each time at least a portion of a recorded program is played back, the amount of time of the playback is kept track of. An advertisement credit is awarded for playback of the recorded program based on the amount of time of playback of the recorded program.

A transmitting and receiving circuit that transmits and receives signals using coaxial cables includes an input/output terminal that delivers and receives signals, a first port, a second port, a switch, and a ceramic-based electro-static discharge protector. The first port transfers a transmitted signal in a first transmission frequency band width and a received signal in a first reception frequency band width. The second port transfers a transmitted signal in a second transmission frequency band width and a received signal in a second reception frequency band width. The switch connects a common port to one of the first port and the second port. The common port is connected to the input/output terminal on one end of the common port and to the switch on the other end. The electro-static discharge protector is connected between the common port and the ground potential.

Systems and methods provide providing predictive radio tuning for an aircraft. The systems and methods electronically receive data from an off aircraft source and integrate with aircraft sourced data. The information is related to frequencies for aircraft radios at one or more locations. The systems and methods electronically determine a location of the aircraft, electronically provide a predicted frequency in response to the location and the information using a radio tuning application, and display the predicted frequency on a radio tuning panel on an electronic display.
