Abstract:
1. An apparatus for receiving user-specific data via radio frequency signals comprising: a broadband input and a wireless input to be selectively routed through a main tuner; a splitter configured to split one of the broadband input and the wireless input into a main channel signal routed to the main tuner and a sub-channel signal routed to an out-of-band tuner, the sub-channel signal comprising user-specific data and an input user ID that associates the user-specific data with a specific receiver device; a filter for permitting throughput of the sub-channel signal to the out-of-band tuner configured to process the user-specific data in the sub-channel signal; a decoding circuit having a hard-coded user ID for authorizing the user-specific data to be rendered by checking for a match between the hard-coded user ID and the transmitted input user ID; and a storage device configured to capture the user-specific data, to store said captured user-specific data, and to delay a user-configurable amount of time before retrieving the user-specific data.
