Abstract
The present invention is for a connected network of broadcast data receivers of the type provided to receive data transmitted from a remote location and then processes the data to generate video, audio and/or auxiliary information. The network connection in accordance with the invention allows at least one of the receivers to provide information relating to the usage of at least one of the further broadcast data receivers on the network. This allows the user of the first receiver to, for example, monitor the usage of another of the receivers and, if necessary, take steps to control usage depending on the material being generated, the time of usage, or other selected parameters.
