Abstract
Various arrangements for facilitating smart television content receivers in a local network are provided. In an example, a secondary television receiver creates voice data based on a spoken voice command by a user and transmits the voice data to a primary television receiver. In response, the primary television receiver transmits data based on the voice data to a voice processing server via the Internet and receives a command from the voice processing server generated based on the voice data.

- create the voice data based on a spoken voice command by a user;
- transmit the voice data to the primary television receiver over a local area network connection separate from the wide area network connection for transmission to the voice processing server.
A non-transitory processor-readable medium, comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- creating voice data at a secondary television receiver based on a spoken voice command by a user;
- transmitting the voice data from the secondary television receiver to a primary television receiver;
- transmitting data based on the voice data via the Internet from the primary television receiver to a voice processing server;
