A method of controlling delivery of video programs from video distribution equipment to video receiver devices, the method comprising: receiving, at the video distribution equipment from a mobile terminal operated by a user, messages containing user defined identifiers that are associated with equipment identifiers of different ones of the video receiver devices; wherein the receiving further comprises: communicating, by the video distribution equipment, images to the video receiver devices that are registered with the subscriber account for display to the user, wherein each of the video receiver devices receives a different image; communicating, by the video distribution equipment, said images to the mobile terminal; storing, by the video distribution equipment, image-to-device associations between the images and the equipment identifiers of the video receiver devices; and receiving, by the video distribution equipment, in each of the messages from the mobile terminal, image selection data that identifies a one of the images that is selected by the user as corresponding to one of the images observed by the user through one of the video receiver devices, and a user defined identifier for the one of the video receiver devices; determining, by the video distribution equipment, from the image-to-device associations one of the equipment identifiers that is associated with the image selection data that is received in one of the messages from the mobile terminal; and storing, by the video distribution equipment, in the subscriber account the user defined identifier from the one of the messages logically associated with the equipment identifier determined from the image-to-device associations; and controlling delivery of video programs from the video distribution equipment to the video receiver devices in response to commands received from the mobile terminal requesting delivery of identified video programs to identified ones of the user defined identifiers. receiving, at the video distribution equipment from a mobile terminal operated by a user, messages containing user defined identifiers that are associated with equipment identifiers of different ones of the video receiver devices; wherein the receiving further comprises: communicating, by the video distribution equipment, images to the video receiver devices that are registered with the subscriber account for display to the user, wherein each of the video receiver devices receives a different image; communicating, by the video distribution equipment, said images to the mobile terminal; storing, by the video distribution equipment, image-to-device associations between the images and the equipment identifiers of the video receiver devices; and receiving, by the video distribution equipment, in each of the messages from the mobile terminal, image selection data that identifies a one of the images that is selected by the user as corresponding to one of the images observed by the user through one of the video receiver devices, and a user defined identifier for the one of the video receiver devices; communicating, by the video distribution equipment, images to the video receiver devices that are registered with the subscriber account for display to the user, wherein each of the video receiver devices receives a different image; communicating, by the video distribution equipment, said images to the mobile terminal; storing, by the video distribution equipment, image-to-device associations between the images and the equipment identifiers of the video receiver devices; and receiving, by the video distribution equipment, in each of the messages from the mobile terminal, image selection data that identifies a one of the images that is selected by the user as corresponding to one of the images observed by the user through one of the video receiver devices, and a user defined identifier for the one of the video receiver devices; determining, by the video distribution equipment, from the image-to-device associations one of the equipment identifiers that is associated with the image selection data that is received in one of the messages from the mobile terminal; and storing, by the video distribution equipment, in the subscriber account the user defined identifier from the one of the messages logically associated with the equipment identifier determined from the image-to-device associations; and controlling delivery of video programs from the video distribution equipment to the video receiver devices in response to commands received from the mobile terminal requesting delivery of identified video programs to identified ones of the user defined identifiers.
