Claims30
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- receive, from a wireless device associated with a content access device located at a premises remote from the apparatus, a first remote control command, wherein the first remote control command is formatted based on a first format and wherein the first remote control command comprises a first parameter;
- determine, based on the first parameter of the first remote control command, a second parameter;
- and
- send, to the content access device and via a gateway located at the premises, a second remote control command, wherein the second remote control command is formatted based on a second format different from the first format and wherein the second remote control command comprises the parameter.

An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- receive, from a wireless device associated with a content access device located at a premises remote from the apparatus, a first digital video recorder (DVR) command, wherein the first DVR command is formatted based on a first format and wherein the first DVR command comprises a parameter;
- determine a content asset corresponding to the parameter;
- and
- send, to a gateway located at the premises, a second DVR command, wherein the second DVR command is formatted based on a second format different from the first format, and wherein the second DVR command is configured to cause output, via the content access device, of the content asset.
4 more elements
A computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause:
- receiving, from a wireless device associated with a content access device located at a premises remote from the one or more processors, a first remote control command, wherein the first remote control command is formatted based on a first format and wherein the first remote control command comprises a first parameter;
- determining, based on the first parameter of the first remote control command, a second parameter;
- and
- sending, to the content access device and via a gateway located at the premises, a second remote control command, wherein the second remote control command is formatted based on a second format different from the first format and wherein the second remote control command comprises the second parameter.

- receiving, from a wireless device associated with a content access device located at a premises remote from the one or more processors, a first digital video recorder (DVR) command, wherein the first DVR command is formatted based on a first format and wherein the first DVR command comprises a parameter;
- determining a content asset corresponding to the parameter;
- and
- sending, to a gateway located at the premises, a second DVR command, wherein the second DVR command is formatted based on a second format different from the first format, and wherein the second DVR command is configured to cause output, via the content access device, of the content asset.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a wireless device associated with a content access device located at a premises, a first remote control command, wherein the first remote control command is formatted based on a first format and wherein the first remote control command comprises a first parameter;
- determining, based on the first parameter of the first remote control command, a second parameter;
- and
- sending, to the content access device and via a gateway located at the premises, a second remote control command, wherein the second remote control command is formatted based on a second format different from the first format and wherein the second remote control command comprises the second parameter.
