Various arrangements for facilitating smart television content receivers are provided. A primary television receiver (PTR) having a first operating system may be configured to receive digital content from a remote content provider and distribute the content to one or more devices in response to a request for the content. A secondary television receiver (STR) configured to be in communication with a PTR and having a second operating system may be configured to receive the digital content from the PTR and provide the content to a display for presentation. The STR may include a first software stack including first processes and a first inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism, and a second software stack including second processes and a second IPC mechanism. The first processes may use the first IPC to communicate with the second processes. The second processes may use the second IPC to communicate with others of the second processes.

A system and method for enabling set up of a controlling device capable of controlling a plurality of appliances, via an interactive instruction set and associated programming. The programming is accessible by a STB or other controllable appliance and is configured to appropriately display interactive instructions and prompts to a user during a user initiated set up procedure for configuration of another controllable device (e.g., DVD, VCR, DVR, etc) available to the user.

Various arrangements for facilitating smart television content receivers in a local network are provided. A primary television receiver executing a first operating system can receive audio data including human voice from a voice enabled remote control. The primary television receiver can transmit the audio data to a secondary television receiver executing a second operating system and that includes a voice command component. The secondary television receiver can convert the audio data into voice command data and transmit the voice command data to the primary television receiver. The primary television receiver can transmit the voice command data to a voice processing server via the Internet and receive, in response, a command generated based on the voice command data. The primary television receiver can transmit the command to the secondary television receiver. The voice command component can then control an operation of the secondary television receiver based on the command.

Methods, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media to facilitate streaming in a local network with a client-server architecture are disclosed. A primary media device may be configured to: operate as a server in a local network, receive first audio/video (A/V) content via an Internet connection, and receive second A/V content via a satellite network connection. Each secondary media device of a set of one or more secondary media devices may be configured to: operate as a client with respect to the primary media device in the local network, receive the first A/V content from the primary media device, receive the second A/V content from the primary media device, and provide the first A/V content and the second A/V content to at least one television of a set of one or more televisions.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media to facilitate streaming in a local network with a client-server architecture are disclosed. A configuration tool may configure a primary media device to perform operations with respect to a local network. The configuration tool may be adapted to communicatively couple with the primary media device via at least one interface of the one or more interfaces to configure the primary media device to perform the operations with respect to the local network. The primary media device may be configured with the configuration tool to operate as a server in the local network, receive first audio/video (A/V) content via an Internet connection and/or a satellite network connection, and receive second A/V content via the Internet connection and/or the satellite network connection.

Disclosed herein is a receiver that generates a video signal. A first video is assigned to a first display layer of a plurality of display layers. A first trigger signal causes a first application to assign a first user interface to a second display layer, which is positioned over the first display layer. A second trigger signal causes a second application to assign a second user interface to a third display layer, which is positioned over the second display layer. The second trigger signal causes a reduction in a size of the first video, and a first portion of the third display layer and a second portion of the second display layer to be made transparent. The reduced size of the first video is positioned beneath the first portion. A combination of the first display layer, the second display layer, and the third display layer generates the video signal.

A system and method arranged to predict a match state event by a machine learning platform. The system and method including monitoring, by the machine learning platform, multimedia content on a live data feed, receiving, by the machine learning platform, current match state data corresponding to the multimedia content, and predicting, by the machine learning platform, an anomaly in the multimedia content based on an analysis of received multimedia content and current match state data. The system and method can include generating, by the machine learning platform, a confidence score regarding a likelihood of the anomaly in the multimedia content, and resolving, by the machine learning platform, the anomaly based on the confidence score. Resolving the anomaly includes extracting a portion of the multimedia content containing the anomaly, ignoring the anomaly, or correcting the anomaly.

An intelligent television can provide various interfaces for navigating processes associated with providing content. The user interfaces include unique visual representations and organizations that allow the user to utilize the intelligent television more easily and more effectively. Particularly, the user interfaces pertain to the display of media content, electronic programming guide information, television content, and other content. Further, the user interfaces provide unique process of transitioning between the content.
