Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: detecting a first modulation type of an input signal; demodulating, via a single demodulating unit, an input signal, wherein the single demodulating unit demodulates via a cable demodulator to generate a demodulated cable signal responsive to a first modulation type corresponding to cable television, wherein the single demodulating unit demodulates via a satellite demodulator to generate a demodulated satellite signal responsive to the first modulation type corresponding to satellite television, and wherein the single demodulating unit demodulates via an over-the-air television demodulator to generate a demodulated over-the-air signal responsive to the first modulation type corresponding to over-the-air television; storing first conditional access and digital rights management data in a programmable memory for cable television services, satellite television services and over-the-air television services; decoding one of the demodulated cable signal, the demodulated satellite signal, or the demodulated over-the-air signal to generate a first decoded signal according to a first television service enabled by the first conditional access and digital rights management data; presenting the first decoded signal at a display according to a channel selection; receiving second conditional access and digital rights management data from equipment associated with a second television service; and storing the second conditional access and digital rights management data at the programmable memory to enable the second television service and to disable the first television service.
