Patent ID: 8310593

Claim:
A television apparatus comprising: a first block connected to a receiving block for a television signal, wherein the first block comprises a semiconductor integrated circuit, and includes a video processor configured to process an image quality of an image signal contained in an input stream, for obtaining an output adapted to a display; a second block configured to connect to the first block via each other's interfaces, and to have a network connector, wherein the second block obtains a network image signal by decoding contents acquired via the network; a bypass route configured to lead a bypass stream, the bypass stream including an image signal, from the first block to the second block via the interfaces; a processor configured to generate a return stream by inserting the network image signal from the network into the image signal on the bypass stream, at the second block; a return pass configured to return the return stream via the interfaces, wherein the return stream is the input stream to the first block; and an output unit provided in the first block, configured to output the image signal which is processed its image quality at the video processor.
