Abstract
A relay device operable to relay emergency information to a plurality of mobile terminals. The device includes: a receiver configured in use to receive a broadcast signal, the broadcast signal being in a first format and containing the emergency information; a transmitter configured in use to connect to the plurality of mobile terminals using a communication channel; and a processor configured in use to provide the emergency information received in the broadcast signal to the plurality of mobile terminals in a second format using the transmitter, wherein the second format is different to the first format.

An internet enabled television device comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive and decode an over the air (OTA) broadcast television signal, the OTA broadcast television signal comprising audio video data and service information;
- transmit information indicating availability of a service to a plurality of second devices over a local area network, wherein the transmitted information is passed through the internet enabled television device to the plurality of second devices such that the internet enabled television device provides access to internet information to the plurality of second devices;
- receive a connection request from at least two of the second devices of the plurality of second devices;
- communicate with the at least two second devices in a first mode when the decoded service information does not include emergency alert information, the first mode including display of data from the OTA broadcast television signal on the at least two devices;
- and
- communicate with the at least two second devices in a second mode different from the first mode when the decoded service information, received via the OTA broadcast signal, includes the emergency alert information, the second mode comprising communicating emergency information of the emergency alert to the at least two devices for display thereon.

A method comprising:
- receiving and decoding, via circuitry, an over the air (OTA) broadcast television signal, the broadcast television signal comprising audio video data and service information;
- transmitting information indicating availability of a service to a plurality of second devices over a local area network, wherein the transmitted information is passed through the internet enabled television device to the plurality of second devices such that the internet enabled television device provides access to internet information to the plurality of second devices;
- receiving a connection request from at least two of the second devices of the plurality of second devices;
- communicating with the at least two second devices in a first mode in response to the decoded service information not including emergency alert information, the first mode including display of data from the OTA broadcast television signal on the at least two devices;
- and
- communicating with the at least two second devices in a second mode different from the first mode in response to the decoded service information, received via the OTA broadcast signal, including the emergency alert information, the second mode comprising communicating emergency information of the emergency alert to the at least two devices for display thereon.
