US Patent:

20080005204, Jan 3, 2008
Filed:

Jun 30, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/428356
Inventors:

Bohdan S. Prus - Alpharetta GA, US
Samuel H. Russ - Lawrenceville GA, US
Assignee:

SCIENTIFIC-ATLANTA, INC. - Lawrenceville GA
International Classification:

G06F 17/30
US Classification:

707205
Abstract:

Systems and methods for applying media retention rules are disclosed. One embodiment of a method for applying media retention rules comprises recording instances of media content to a first storage medium associated with a digital media recorder, detecting that a second storage medium is available for storing and maintaining additional instances of media content associated with the digital media recorder and, at a time after detecting that the second storage medium is available for storing and maintaining additional instances of media content, determining at least one of the instances of media content stored to the first storage medium or second storage medium can be deleted based on a retention policy that applies selected media retention rules associated with the instances of media content based on the storage medium to which the media content is stored.

US Patent:

7069578, Jun 27, 2006
Filed:

Apr 14, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/549292
Inventors:

Bohdan Prus - Alpharetta GA, US
David B. Lett - Duluth GA, US
Assignee:

Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. - Lawrenceville GA
International Classification:

H04N 7/173
US Classification:

725132, 725140
Abstract:

A cable television settop receiver and method includes a software component and a frequency acquisition method for determining the ability of the operating system/control program in the settop receiver to operate the settop receiver. The software component, referred to as a “bootloader”, executes on the processor contained in the settop receiver and determines the capability and version of the settop receiver operating system/control program. If the bootloader determines that the operating system/control program should be updated, the bootloader initiates a download sequence, the performance of which allows the proper operating system/control program to be downloaded to the settop receiver. The download occurs after receipt, by the settop receiver, of a code version table (CVT). The CVT includes information that the settop receiver uses to determine which frequency to tune to receive the replacement operating system/control program.
